Jayne is newly retired and disappointed with her life. She's in danger of becoming her daughter's babysitting service, and is desperate to make a change. When she meets a handsome stranger in the park - and an opportunity to do something for herself arises - can Jayne allow herself a second chance at happiness? Matt Hartley's play The Wife of Cyncoed is a charming and open-hearted play about self-discovery later in life. It premiered at Sherman Theatre, Cardiff, in 2024, and provides gloriously entertaining opportunities for a mature solo performer.

Matt Hartley's other plays include the Bruntwood Prize-winning Sixty Five Miles, Here I Belong (Pentabus), Deposit (Hampstead Theatre) and Eyam (Shakespeare's Globe).
