Event information

Want to discover the secret ingredients of a long, happy and fulfilling romantic relationship? Then join renowned couple therapists, Professor Robert Stenk and Doctor Veronica Stenk, as they share everything they’ve learned during their illustrious careers (and of course, long and happy marriage) about how to maintain a partnership made in heaven, in a brand new, inspirational live lecture!

What could possibly go wrong?

On the surface the Stenks are the ideal couple. But trouble is brewing. While delivering a talk about successful relationships, their own is on the brink of imploding in the most spectacular and public manner possible. Watch in horror, as tempers fray, secrets come to light and the very professional lecture they intended to give, deteriorates into chaos.

How to be the Perfect Couple is a comedy about how difficult and messy relationships can be, even when you’re supposed to be an expert.

Written and performed by real-life couple Katie & Jon Rand. Directed by Karl Hanson
