'You know what? My love life is a joke, and I reckon I must be the punch-line because I can tell you what, everyone else but me thinks it's funny'. "Woman Walks into a Bar" takes place during one day in the life of Sam, 28-year-old single mother of 12-year-old Beth. It opens at Sam's morning tea break where her friends and work mates tell her they've set her up on a blind date for the night. Sam works at the local supermarket. Life has never been easy for her but she's always hoped that one day she'll meet The One. As Sam prepares for the date she remembers back to past events - often difficult, sometimes happy - which have informed how she feels about herself now and inevitably this blind date. But still, as ever, she's hoping this time the man she is meeting will change her life forever..."Woman Walks into a Bar" touches on the dark and difficult emotions stirred up by events in Sam's past and how they have coloured her present but it is ultimately an upbeat, funny look at life and what it can throw at you...
