In his desire to impress his new American girlfriend Zoe, Tom has somehow managed to convince her he's an English lord whose parents own a stately home. Naturally enough, Zoe wants to see this wonderful place. Tom knows that Ashworth Hall is a delightful country house hotel, and he's sure, with the help of his friend Colin, he can pass it off as his parents' home.
Meanwhile George and Barbara, the managers of the hotel, have received news from their wayward son's boarding school that a teacher is on their way to visit. Any new arrival is likely to be mistaken for the irate teacher. Unfortunately for Tom, his ex-girlfriend ‘Scary’ Anna has also decided to have a weekend break at Ashworth Hall. (Anna is not known as ‘Scary Anna’ for nothing). And unfortunately for Zoe, her father Marvin is on his way to visit her there too.
Marvin has rather old-fashioned views concerning his daughter and Zoe has told him she is there with a female chaperone. Colin (who has rather fallen for Zoe) nobly steps in to impersonate said female chaperone. His disguise proves a little too convincing for Marvin who becomes rather smitten with dear 'Harriet'.
When the real teacher, Miss Davis, shows up things get even more confusing. Miss Davis is a strict teetotaller but George will keep plying her with drink. By this stage, nearly everyone is pretending to be someone else. After much mistaken identity and talking at cross purposes, order is eventually more or less restored and everyone seems to find their rightful romantic partner.

Frequently asked questions
Can we try before we buy?
Of course! All our plays and pantomimes have a free Preview Script available for download as an A4 pdf file that contains 60-75% of the full script. If you like what you read then you can buy an inexpensive e-script of the entire play (typically less than half the cost of a traditional printed script) which is licensed to you for your personal use. Purchasing a script copying licence allows you to make just enough copies to support rehearsals and performances.
All our musicals are included in our perusal service. Through this, representatives of producing organisations can request a USB Stick of perusal material which comprise the script/libretto and piano/vocal score as PDF files; a Cast (or Studio) Recording as MP3 files and (where available) an MP4 file video of either the premiere production or of a subsequent production.
Some titles have the facility to read the entire script online on our website.
Do we need a Licence To Perform?
The simple answer is, yes.
Under the international laws of copyright, you must be in possession of a valid, unexpired licence before performing any piece of theatre unless the owner or managers of the copyright has waived their rights.
Why do you insist on providing a formal royalties quotation?
When you request a quotation, it is logged in our system, it forms part of an orderly queue and protects your place in that queue should multiple licensing requests occur for the same show.
