About
Fisherman's Wife is the story of a lounge singer working in Vegas in the mid-1960's. His wife, Kate, works as a cigarette girl on the casino floor. She expresses to Fisher that she wants a better paying, more respectable job in the casino and begs her husband to use his connections with the Casino owner to get her a better job. When the casino owner, Hal, agrees to give her a new job, Kate begins to ask for newer, higher positions in the casino. Fisher's friendship with Hal starts to get strained over the numerous requests and Kate slowly starts spending less and less time with her husband. Soon Kate is threatening Hal's own job in the casino and Fisher has to decide if he wants what's best for his wife, or his long-time friend
The story aims to be a retelling of the old fable "The Fisherman and his Wife" with a vintage Vegas twist.
