CNCF stages Fat Chance, a sitcom by 3-time CNCF Annual Play Writing Competition winner Donna Tull-Cox.

The Cast

Six of members of the Rundown cast – Matt Brown, Priscilla Pouchie, Evana Martinez, Patrick Lopez, Maia Muttoo and Kevin Creary – who thrilled and entertained audiences a few months back, get together to play this hilarious comedy by top-flight playwright, Donna Tull-Cox.

Fat Chance features this superb cast of young, talented actors led by the outstanding Matt Brown who is fast becoming a leading young male stage actor in the Cayman Islands.

The Plot

Hen-pecked Dexter is married to Coreen. Dexter snores; Coreen can’t get any sleep; Coreen hates that. Coreen’s mother, Ma, lives with the couple. Ma is inquisitive; Dexter hates that. Ma attends every funeral, whether or not she knows the dead person; Dexter “doan like” that. Ma loves to give detailed descriptions of the dead at funerals; Dexter can’t stand that either. Coreen’s best friend is vivacious Wiggie, who visits Coreen’s house very often. Dexter does not like Wiggie. Wiggie prefers to date different men rather than settle down with one man; Ma detests that and plans to do something about it. Buddy, Dexter’s best friend, is desperately in love with Wiggie. Wiggie loathes that and ignores all of his pleas. Buddy will not take ‘no’ for an answer; he ‘spies’ on Wiggie. Ma finds a new male friend and it seems that her love-flame is about to be re-kindled but she has ulterior reasons for the alliance. Ma sets up a party to introduce Wiggie to Fredrick, the man she has chosen for her. Wiggie does not want to be hitched and she and Coreen plan to surprise Fredrick, and Ma. Will Dexter stop snoring? Will Ma get her new love? Will Fredrick find the woman of his dreams? Will Wiggie give up her independence? Will Buddy get Wiggie?
