From the cover:

I Love My Love is a play for two men and three women. Trendy magazine Femina offers two contrasting wives - country-bumpkin Anne and sophisticate Cat - L1000 to swap places for a week to compare lifestyles. Anne goes to London to run the chic apartment of Cat's whizz-kid advertising executive husband, Mark. While Cat journeys to deepest Devon to bake, cook, clean and care for gentle, sexually-repressed, teacher-turned-shopkeeper, Derek. Violent snowstorms mean that Cat and Derek are cut off and when the snow ploughs eventually arrive the life-swap has become a wife-swap. After the initial bliss, disillusionment sets in until the wives return to their original partners - neither of whom are quite the same men they left. This witty, comical, finely-observed study of middle-class contrasts was first presented on Radio 3 and subsequently seen at the Orange Tree, Richmond.
