COMEDY. As the years go by, Phoebe tires of being a dowdy schoolmistress, so she gives herself a makeover and poses as the young, flirtatious “Miss Livvy,” her imaginary niece. When Captain Brown returns from war, he is quickly captivated by “Miss Livvy” and persuades her to accompany him to the ball. At the ball, many gentlemen vie for the affections of “Miss Livvy,” much to the dismay of the other girls in attendance. However, unknown to Phoebe, Captain Brown is secretly in love with Phoebe, not “Miss Livvy.” Unfortunately, Phoebe finds that getting rid of “Miss Livvy” is much harder than creating her! There are nonstop laughs and twists and turns galore in this hysterically funny comedy. Adapted from the comedy “Quality Street” by J.M. Barrie.
