As Bob’s business fails and Carol takes over as the household’s breadwinner, this unexpected role swap has surprising results for their marriage, further complicated by Bob’s quest for the meaning of life. A tropical holiday, a karaoke talent quest and a typhoon push their partnership to the brink of disaster!
The Frankston Arts Centre is pleased to present Baby Boomer Blues, an outstanding comedy about love and life gone wrong; a comic and entertaining portrayal of married life and a baby boomer couple’s search for fulfilment.
