An original, fly-on-the-wall style production, Couples! is a slice of country comedy gold starring all regional performers. Four vastly different, yet relatable couples, descend on the peaceful country setting of the Paradise Valley Couples Retreat for a weekend of relationship therapy. Sharing their stories and situations, events unfold to explore their relationships warts and all, giving the audience a glimpse into their private worlds. Will the couples survive counselling, or will the cracks that develop be too deep?
Based on real-life events, the production focuses on realistic relationships and explores the universal themes of commitment and love. Under the guidance of their councillors, the couples interact to reveal their issues, with the aim of strengthening their individual unions, resulting in some touching moments, many comical situations and surprising revelations.
