Outline
"Jake’s Women" is a comedy drama that focuses around Jake, a writer, who is more successful in fiction than in life and
when the pressures of day-to-day life become too much to bear retreats into his imagination. He deals with a marital
crisis by daydreaming about the women in his life. Jake's women include: his second wife who is leaving him, a beloved
first wife who is now dead, their daughter who is recalled as a child and is now a young woman, his loving but bossy
sister, an analyst, and a girlfriend. As the characters he creates become as real to Jake as the people closest to him,
his overactive mind provides him with a view of life's problems from a new and unique perspective.

Outline
Gerry Stratton has organised a small family dinner with his sons Glyn and Adam at his favourite restaurant to celebrate
his wife Laura's 54th birthday. Glyn is with his long-suffering wife Stephanie, and their marriage looks to be on firmer
ground than it once was; Adam has brought along his new girlfriend Maureen, an outrageous hairdresser, and they are both
eager to impress. The occasion suggests a happy domestic scene, made endearing with the help of the restaurants owner
Calvinu and the witty waiters, but gradually cracks start to appear in the façade. We discover that Glyn’s faithlessness
knows no bounds, that the family transport business has been hit by the recession, and that Laura has been unfaithful to
her husband. The present opens up to have Glyn's story move forward in time and Adam's backwards, while at the centre Gerry
and Laura revel in picking apart their marriage and their family.
