Description :
A satire of snobbery in all its guises, it deals with the clash of cultures between Hollywood stars and the English aristocracy

John Lahr the prominent theatre critic summarizes it as “A satire of snobbery in all its guises, it deals with the clash of cultures between Hollywood stars and the English aristocracy, and with “the ancient and inaccurate assumption that, as we are equal in the eyes of God, we should be equal in the eyes of our fellow creatures.
