About the Show

A heart-warming comedy by John Van Druten about love and ambition in 1943 New York.

Set in New York City during 1943, Sally Middleton has decided to abandon love and concentrate solely on her acting career. However, her best friend and fellow actor, Olive Lashbrooke, has different intentions. When Olive learns that a past lover is back in town, Sally ends up comforting Olive’s current boyfriend, Sergeant Bill Page. As they seek shelter from the rain in Sally’s apartment with only cocktails for company, unexpected connections unfold between two people who have been hurt by love.

Beguiling, Funny, Likeable Characters, Quirky, Sophisticated Romcom

See it if you enjoy sweet funny & wholesome romance. Sally & Bill overcoming fears & past entanglements to realise their future happiness together.

Don't see it if you prefer modern day romcoms without the cutesy sweet heart soul & romance.
