WHAT CAN OFFER THE ESCAPE THEY SEEK?

The 1950s, post-War Britain: the only people in society who can be said to have a glamorous lifestyle are the very wealthy, the aristocracy, and people who worked in the theatre.

Elsie Lancaster is the granddaughter of a hardened old professional actress who runs a seaside boarding house.

Oliver is the third son of a Catholic aristocratic Yorkshire family whose mother has run off, so the theatre-mad butler has brought him up like a son to be a Great Actor.

Coco Hampton, Oliver's best friend, has been raised in Sloane Street by Gladys, her profligate guardian, who is always borrowing money from Coco to buy more clothes.

Gladys and Oliver have been fans of the theatre since they were knee-high, but Coco has only ever wanted to be a designer. When Coco joins Oliver at his drama school in London, to his chagrin she promptly gets cast in films because of her photogenic looks.

Meanwhile, Elsie is 'discovered' in the provinces by Portly Cosgrove; shortly before meeting Oliver who promptly falls in love with her. And elsewhere, on location, Coco has her first affair with a handsome actor, which doesn't end well...

A colourful cast of characters and a script you just couldn't make up...!
