Two best friends who are now happily married - to husbands Willy and Fred, who are also best friends - Julia and Jane both once counted the dashing Frenchman Maurice as their lover. Guess who's back in town and requesting the pleasure of the Ladies' company? Coward at his inimitable best; the story is a champagne cocktail of wit and charm.

Reviewers rave:
Huzzahs to Jewel and "Angels" director Art Manke for not only mounting this sumptuous production but also finding such a glorious bunch of ninnies to inhabit Coward's genteel world.
- By Joanne Engelhardt, Santa Cruz Sentinel
The glitter and glitz hit you right in the face as you enter the theater. Tom Buderwitz's period drawing room set glows with vivid blue wallpaper, lozenges of Tiffany window glass and the upstage grand piano that's standard equipment in any self-respecting Coward comedy.
This production at the Colligan offers an opportunity between now and February 21st to see a rare piece of jazz age theater performed with precision timing and flawless comic brilliance.
- By Philip Pearce, Performing Arts Monterey Bay
