It is the 1950s and this charming comedy introduces the
Nightingales, members of a theatrical family who perform more at
home than they do on the stage. Jack is a cabaret star, as in love
with his piano as he is with his silk dressing gowns. His parents,
Charlie and Beatrice, are old Music Hall stars, full of hilarious
tales of life on the road. Maggie performs with Jack in the
evenings and regularly visits his house to rehearse, drink tea, and
tell the sorry tale of her latest romantic disaster. If only she
and Jack realized that their true love was right in front of them.
The sudden arrival of Charlie and Beatrice, asking to stay with
Jack for a few days, throws his and Maggie's lives into chaos. They
promise to be gone by Christmas, but this provides little comfort
given that it is only January 7th! Jack's housekeeper Geraldine
copes masterfully with the ensuing disruption, but then Beatrice
unexpectedly disappears. It seems that this was not a simple visit,
but an opportunity for her to leave Charlie and run off to another
liaison in France. The question is, will anyone find their true
love? Are there such things as happy endings? And what do
performers do once the spotlight goes out? This is a very funny,
touching showbusiness comedy, bursting with one-liners and lovable
characters.
