How to Murder Your Husband by Julie Rutterford

A BBC Radio broadcast of a wickedly comic play by Julie Rutterford.

Is retirement so bad? Well, Flo, a wife of over thirty years, thinks so when her husband Frank takes early retirement. Realizing that she has quite a few ambitions that she hasn't realized yet which may not include Frank and since their marriage has not been particularly happy or close, she decides, thanks to an idea she got from a self-help book, that it would be best for her is he wasn't around anymore ... permanently.

So murder is on the menu, but it's not as easy as it sounds and a lot harder than it seems ... and may not work out as she hoped or expected.
