Description
The Nightingales: A Comedy by Peter Quilter In this charming comedy, a theatrical family's home becomes their stage. Jack, a cabaret star, and his parents, Charlie and Beatrice, old Music Hall stars, bring laughter and tales of life on the road to those around them. Their daughter Maggie performs with Jack in the evenings and often visits him for rehearsals, tea, and sharing her latest romantic misadventures. The arrival of Charlie and Beatrice at their son's home throws his and Maggie's lives into chaos. With a promise to be gone by Christmas, they must navigate their complicated relationships and find a way to coexist in the space of just a few days. As the January 7th deadline draws near, tensions rise and the Nightingales' household becomes a whirlwind of love, laughter, and lunacy. A witty and engaging comedy that explores the complexities of family life, The Nightingales is a delightful read for anyone who enjoys character-driven drama.
