Subject: Rent a Husband. He tries harder. You'll be happier.
It's a trend that's catching on around the world and it's true.

Reports from Reuters, The Wall Street Journal, The Oprah Winfrey show, Today Show and People magazine confirm that women are now able to rent‘husbands’ to do what good husbands are supposed to do. From indoor to outdoor home repairs, and anything in between including singing birthday serenades, accompanying them to a dance or watching a romantic comedy the real husbands dread…

AMERICA: Rent-A-Husband® is now the leading national brand-name offering home repair and maintenance services through franchisees in six states across the country.

NEW ZEALAND: Hire A Hubby, launched in 1998, now has more than 100 franchisees nationwide.

CANADA: Rent-a-Husband-or-a-Son has become increasingly popular among busy housewives and elderly people.

RUSSIA: A single woman there has 10 “husbands” that she rents out to lonely women who do not have husbands, married women, widows. Business has been brisk.

SINGAPORE: No smart entrepreneur has introduced husbands for rental yet. But a Singapore playwright has been inspired by this trend that he's written a brand new comedy called Hubbies4Hire…

Hubbies4Hire: a new comedy about true happiness & win-win situations Australian Harry Grant decides to set up Hubbies4Hire in Singapore because he feels it's the right time and it has tremendous potential. But just when he's about to launch Hubbies4Hire, his investors all pull out. The only way he could possibly convince them to return is to get a solid endorsement from the industry's most respected customer satisfaction consultant. Her name is Gina Chia and she just happens tobe tough-as-hell and twice-divorced! The fun begins when Gina decides to try out one of Harry's "husbands" herself…

Written by Desmond Sim (Autumn Tomyam, Corporate Animals), Hubbies4Hire is funny and ultimately touching. It stars Deborah Png (Gigi inKa-Ra-you-OK?), Robin Goh (Chang & Eng), veteran Australian actor Graham Harvey and Loke Loo Pin (Viva Viagra!). It's directed by award-winning resident director of Miss Saigon and Mamma Mia! Find out more information and read interviews with the creators of the show at www.action.org.sg.
