About

Second Honeymoon is an hilarious comedy set in a guest house. Amongst the guests are the very proper land-lady, her flirty servant-girl Vera, newly-weds - Stephen and Sally, Mr & Mrs Mansfield, long-term resident Mrs Hartnett and Agnes & Frank, who are celebrating their 25th anniversary. Along with the hilariously camp Victor, and Agnes’ old flame Malcolm, there is the village’s very own Sailor.
