Description
Book SynopsisIt is the 1950s and this charming comedy introduces the Nightingales, members of a theatrical family who perform more at home than they do on the stage. Jack is a cabaret star, as in love with his piano as he is with his silk dressing gowns. His parents, Charlie and Beatrice, are old Music Hall stars, full of hilarious tales of life on the road. Maggie performs with Jack in the evenings and regularly visits his house to rehearse, drink tea, and tell the sorry tale of her latest romantic disaster. The sudden arrival of Charlie and Beatrice, asking to stay with Jack for a few days, throws his and Maggie''s lives into chaos. They promise to be gone by Christmas, but this provides little comfort given that it is only January 7th!3 women, 2 men
Trade Review"A heartwarming play, effervescent and witty, yet also with depth ... The highlight of the season" The Epoch Times "Comedy, satire, and a happy ending that pulls out all the stops" The Express "Enthusiastic applause greeted this charming showbusiness comedy filled with dry laconic humour, lovable crazy fun, and a touching dash of nostalgia" The General Anzeiger
