Isobel Lomax and Dolly Biddle are two "mature" cable-access cooking show hostesses who have hated each other for 30 years,
ever since Stephen Biddle dated one and married the other. When circumstances put them together on a TV show called The Kitchen Witches,
the insults are flung harder than the food! Dolly's long-suffering TV-producer son Stephen tries to keep them on track, but as long as Dolly's
dressing room is one inch closer to the set than Isobel's, it's a losing battle, and the show becomes a ratings smash as Dolly and Isobel top both
Martha Stewart and Jerry Springer!

"Canadian playwright Caroline Smith has whipped up a hilarious tale." -- Simcoe Times-Reformer
"Take a handful of animated actors, add a lively and responsive audience, let the plot thicken and you get a savoury show
that's sure to please even the fussiest palate." -- The Orangeville Banner
