An LGBTQ bedroom farce set in Victorian London, 1840.
In the wake of Queen Victoria's wedding, the families of Lucas and Alfred--two members of the upper crust--insist they need to marry. In one case this is an ultimatum. What almost no one realizes is they are already in love and committed to each other. Alfred's cousin Helena offers to help, which involves inviting everyone to her estate outside London. Lucas reluctantly agrees, only too aware their hostess has more than warm feelings for his sister, Charlotte.
What follows involves mistaken identities, convoluted plots and conspiracy theories, Tory politics, advice from many quarter about marriage, revelations, mis-interpretations, a vast number of exits and entrances, as well as a sword fight! But amid all the antics, what it boils down to is the question of how to live in a very imperfect world, which puts far too many demands upon us.
