England, late 1950s.
Henry Crabb is a rich industrialist desperate for a seat in the House of Lords. Unfortunately, being an orphan, his birth certificate and family tree are proving to be an impediment.
Meanwhile, Crabb's daughter Jill wants to introduce her left-wing fiance Bob to her father, but doesn't think they will see eye to eye - especially after Bob sits on Henry's new Cezanne.
Enter Crispin, the well-bred genealogist (and perfect stand in for Bob).
Bad goes to worse when a mysterious bishop arrives with some interesting news.
This mad-cap comedy features a fabulous ensemble cast which will have you rolling in the aisle and prove that blood is certainly thicker than water (with a nip of gin, thanks).

After getting a divorce from C.K. Dexter Haven, Tracy Lord prepares to marry again… however, in the days before her wedding, Haven and a reporter, posing as her brother’s friend, show up at her doorstep. From there, Tracy is forced to choose among her past love, her present love and her new love. Amidst the situation comedy, and fast-paced dialogue, Barry explores several contemporary social issues, such as society’s perception of class differences in America and attitudes towards adultery and divorce in the 1930’s.
