About the play

A comedy set prior to the first world war set in the heart of Northern England. Three respectable and well-to-do couples were married on the same day...in the same church...by the same vicar.....or were they???. As they meet to celebrate 25 years of bliss disaster strikes as they learn that they are not quite as respectably married as they thought they were!!. The home truths begin to fly like confetti. As word spreads of the problem an old flame, of easy virtue, returns and other uninvited guests begin to call. A bibulous photographer is also due to arrive from the local rag.
Will the lid be kept on the scandal? Will wedded bliss be restored or will it all end in tears.
