Set in a victorian sitting room overlooking a garden, and the action takes place in 1924, which will present an interesting costuming challenge for the participating groups.   The cast is four women, various ages, and two men - an older woman, her grasping and selfish daughter, her equally avaricious sons, a lively young maid, and a very eccentric neighbour.  Lots of room for interpretation.
