Henry, the hero of Bruce McDonald’s gutsy The Husband, is having a really bad year. His wife, a former teacher is in jail for sleeping with an underage student, leaving Henry to raise their infant son alone; he loathes his job and as his wife’s release date looms he finds it increasingly difficult to keep a lid on his anger so he begins stalking his wife’s teenage lover. Brilliantly walking the thin line between humour and horror (helped not a little by the wry, hilariously curated soundtrack of 1970s pop tunes), The Husband nimbly steps between black comedy and psychological disaster… McDonald handles dark psychological material with a light touch.
