“Doing the right thing isn’t always the right thing to do.”

People spoil things; there are so many of them and the last thing one wants is them traipsing through one’s house. But with the park a jungle and a bath on the billiard table, what is one to do? With her family estate lying in a state of disrepair, desperately requiring finance to keep the once grand residence maintained, Lady Dorothy is willing to go to any lengths in order to keep the property out of the hands of the National Trust. Her sister however, wholeheartedly disagrees. A sharp, critical and spectacularly funny play from the master playwright.
