About This Book

A one-act comic play mixes songs and light farce in a neatly furnished country shop, where a shop assistant fantasizes about a young woman and finally encounters her in a furtive visit. Their affectionate exchanges and awkward self-consciousness meet the disapproval of an overseeing relative, while everyday incidents about missing stock and nosy customers supply comic relief. The short piece balances tender romantic expectation, social obstacle and playful misunderstanding within a compact domestic scene, using music and brisk scene work to shift tone between humour and sentiment.
