Highlights
Synopsis
This clever show has given new life to one of America's most popular comedies.
The story concerns an eager young man who falls in love with the wrong rich girl.
In the final scene he realizes that it is her young, unconventional sister whom he really loves, and the two turn their backs on old money and old values for a shared life that should prove to be a holiday.
Based on Holiday by Philip Barry
