'For Better or For Worse... but not for lunch!!

What happens when the suit no longer fits? When the life style you've so carefully carved and sculptured for yourself comes to an end? Home For Lunch is the story of one man's coming of age - the end of an era, the search for new meaning.

With a complete lack of personal insight, Steven Kingston finds himself 'home for lunch' - retired, lost, lonely and afraid. Both Steven and his wife, Heather, are frustrated and confused by this new arrangement. Throughout their marriage they have played out carefully constructed roles, now that has all changed. Using a mixture of pathos, comedy and drama Home for Lunch is a look at one man's personal journey as he learns to let go and move on.' (Chapel Off Chapel website)
