Synopsis: 
In the small Midwestern town of Cowbell, MO, Gertie’s 50th wedding anniversary takes a darkly comedic turn when her husband gifts her a fishing pole instead of the diamond ring she’s longed for. Fueled by decades of repressed frustrations, a cocktail of dubious pills, and the encouragement of her lifelong friends, Gertie begins plotting her husband’s untimely demise. With sharp humor, unexpected twists, and heartfelt revelations, The Pros and Cons of Killing Your Husband explores the complexities of love, friendship, marriage, and the lengths we’ll go to rediscover ourselves. A laugh-out-loud dark comedy that’s deadly fun!
