Characters: Ages are flexible
Alec Firth : owner of a book shop, married to
Maggie: mother of his two children.
Liz: his assistant (and bit on the side) who he is hoping to go away to Spain with “on the quiet”.
Phoebe: his mother currently out of the way in a care home, he thinks.
Jamie: his son happily living with an alcoholic vegetarian.
Mandy: his daughter, “the sensible one”
In the space of two days chaos ensues as Alec tries desperately to have his illicit holiday affair and fate throws everything at him to stop it. Did I mention the dog?
This is a “not to be taken too seriously” comedy with a mixed cast of 6 people. This includes a “granny” who gets the best laughs and is a real character part (I would even consider a man if someone wanted to go for it).
