Play :: Parental plans go awry, reputations are shredded and the generation gap seems insurmountable in William Douglas-Home's delightful romantic comedy. Society couple, Jimmy and Sheila Broadbent, are launching their daughter Jane into society and have their eye on the perfect husband. Jane, however, has other ideas. The round of balls and parties bores her stiff and the last thing she wants is some stuffy young toff with perfect manners. In fact, the chap she really wants appears to be a perfect cad. Horrified parents, a conniving cousin and hot society gossip make this a debutante season to remember. Bursting with witty one liners and sparkling dialogue in the tradition of Noël Coward, this affectionate caricature of 1950s British society brings the glamour and charm of the debutante scene gloriously to life.
