Henry and Alice: Into the Wild

By: Michele Riml

Henry and Alice: Into the Wild is the hilarious sequel to Sexy Laundry.

The wonderful couple from the Michele Riml’s smash hit Sexy Laundry is back! And this time Henry and Alice are camping—sort of! With their economic fortunes taken a downturn, the prospect of an unknown future is bringing new meaning to the idea of “roughing it.” Now, the couple is forced to examine their relationship in the tangle of the wilderness—including collapsing tents, uninvited guests, and their own particular style of alfresco “cuisine.” If they can make it through this weekend, Henry and Alice just might discover how to survive a true mid-life crisis.

If funny, warm and fuzzy is what you're looking for, look no further.

The highlight of Riml's writing is that it does not matter what age an individual is in order for them to relate to the story, it only matters that they have experienced such emotions and situations.

It will make you think about your life. But it will also make you laugh.

There’s lots to learn and like in this sequel to Sexy Laundry: humour, thoughtful dialogue, tender – and not-so-tender moments.

If art is a reflection of life, this play certainly does its bit to mirror the state of many lives at the moment. Without being preachy, it delivers these considerations with laughs and poignancy.

The play has its heart in a good place and snappy dialogue

“

Not loud or boisterous, this is a chuckle-at-yourself, identify-with-everyone type of comedy… The characters are easy to understand, and live right next door, if not under our very rooves.
