Synopsis
Geraldine and Reg, ageing hippies now trapped
in Green Belt respectability by Geraldine's domineering mother, Mrs.
Carmichael, are giving a dinner party. Their guests are Reg's boss,
the publisher and moral-rights' campaigner Mr. Beamish, and his
soft-left son Bunny, who is to marry their daughter Billie. Both
Mrs. Carmichael and Billie, admirers of Mr. Beamish's views. are
anxious to make a good impression, but Geraldine has had enough of
being pushed around and decides to liven up the evening a bit by
impersonating Reg's imaginary brother Rollo, a cad and a bounder.
When Reg retaliates by dressing up as Rollo's eccentric wife,
Lillian, chaos ensues. Olwen Wymark's suburban comedy is a rebel's
fantasy, a hostess's nightmare, and a hijinks treat for its
audiences. |
