Synopsis

Two delightful but very different plays by John Bowen. 'The Coffee Lace' is about six old theatre folk who try to raise money for an anniversary celebration by selling Lily's coffee lace dress. The dress does not raise enough, and it is only Lily's death which provides the finance in a macabre way. In 'Trevor', Jane and Susan hide their relationship from their parents by creating mythical fiances called Trevor. When Jane's parents visit, the girls hire an actor to play Trevor, but when Sarah's parents arrive unexpectedly, Trevor has to put on a double-act.
