Humor and heart collide in a drawing-room farce about status, family, and love.
A witty stage comedy set in the Balham villa of the Hoskins family, where guests arrive, mismatched expectations arise, and the lines between class and affection get delightfully blurred. This edition brings the full playful rhythm of George Paston’s scene-driven drama to life for modern readers or stage enthusiasts.
In one lively evening, the Hoskins family navigates visitors, flirtations, and social pretensions. The parents’ well-meaning attempts to impress clash with the younger pairings and clever banter, creating a portrait of family dynamics, class pretensions, and changing times."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
