Story:

A middle-aged British man has a brief affair with a young woman in America and she manages to track him down to his home in England. Keeping her true identity from his wife throws the man and his brother, who aids in the deception, into a series of hilarious complications which are compounded by the arrival of the brother's wife.

Characters:

CHARLES: (late 40s) Attractive businessman and father. Serious minded, but not without a sense of humour. Somewhat naive and bumbling as he struggles to cover up an affair and save his marriage.

MARGERY: (middle 40s) Charles' wife. Elegant, sophisticated. Sharp-witted. Is secretly carrying on an affair herself.

ROBERT: (middle 40s) Charles' younger brother. Considers himself a playboy. On his second marriage. Charming, at times raunchy. Flamboyant manner.

JAYNIE: (20s) Sexy, vivacious young woman from California. Gullible. (Standard American accent-not southern!-required for this character.)

THE GIRL: (20s) Turns out to be Robert's new wife. Pretty. Sincere. Vulnerable. Can also assert herself when necessary.
