Starring Anne Reid, Richard Dempsey, Sian Reeves. Written in 1928. American socialite Cora Sabbott comes to Paris to stop her son's relationship with a French 'actress' - with hilarious results.

Written in 1945, much of the music was completely lost, until last year when a full conductor's score, containing everything were discovered. The musical is about a contended married woman, who at a college reunion, meets the man that she almost spent her life with. He's still responsive to her - and he has documented their romance in his latest best selling novel.
