A Dame Called Derek

Charlie's marriage has hit rock bottom, and his bed is a lonely place. He decides to try his hand at writing, but will his wife give a toss?
Charlie shares his first story with his writing class. A hobby that has his wife laughing into her morning latte. However, the writing class enjoyed his story, including the director of the local pantomime.
The director persuades Charlie to write for the local pantomime group. Charlie's wife calls him crazy, and with a dame as funny as a kidney stone and equipment on par with a second-hand stall, Charlie can see her point until his wife leaves him for her therapist.
With a fire of epic proportions and an exotic wardrobe mistress sending mixed messages, Charlie is caught in the crossfire of amateur dramatic politics, divorce, and reviving his "romancing" skills.
Will he find the courage to take a chance?
