Summary

Not a farce, but a true comedy of manners, and as such requires genuine character performances. Hugely successful premieres in the UK and the USA.

Ah, Provence! The French Riviera. Where the well-to-do rent luxury villas for exorbitant sums in order to get their annual fix of sun, sea, and haute cuisine. However, imagine the crisis if one such sumptuous place was double-booked. Worse – imagine it triple-booked! By a French couple, an English couple, and heaven forbid, an Irish/American couple. Marriages have foundered on less. Add copious champagne, heightened sexual impulses, and ingrained cultural differences, and the European Union could well implode! The USA and Europe have seen many comedies by Robin Hawdon, but none to threaten international relations on this scale.
