Does love at first sight truly exist? Sparks fly after a British woman meets an American man at a London tea party, but how far will things go in this charming, cross-border romantic comedy? This play set in 1930s London, England speaks to our uninhibited desire to fall in love, and our capacity to overcome the obstacles that social mores and geography throw our way.
John William Van Druten was an English playwright and theatre director. He began his career in London, and later moved to America, becoming a U.S. citizen. He was known for his plays of witty and urbane observations of contemporary life and society.
A little overwrought but romantic nonetheless. Leonora is a heroine in the Stanwyck model and I love her for it. Van Druten again impresses with his gentle demeanour and sweet sophistication. Always a pleasure.
