A FEEL GOOD COMEDY BY SHIRL HENDRYX
PRODUCED BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT WITH SAMUEL FRENCH, INC.
|
|
| |
Spinster sisters, Margaret and Sarah, feel terribly guilty about neglecting their Jane Austen book club meetings to
sneak peeks at the boxing matches on their newly-acquired Cable TV service. But not guilty enough to
stop. And when they discover that the drifter who suddenly shows up at their door was once a fighter, the
old girls jump at the chance to get him back in trim and into the ring. Is he the real thing? Or
a con artist looking for easy street? Charming and funny, a homemade custard pie of a show ... sweet and
satisfying with just a dash of spice!
