Title: Breath of Spring Presented By: Growl Theatre Genre: Comedy Synopsis: Set in London in the late 1950s, Breath of Spring is a delightful British comedy of manners with a mischievous twist. Dame Beatrice Appleby is a generous woman whose dwindling finances have forced her to take in a colourful collection of lodgers. When her maid Lily presents her with a luxurious mink stole as a thank-you gift, Beatrice suspects it has been stolen from a neighbour. Horrified but intrigued, Beatrice and her eccentric household devise a plan to secretly return it. After their first mission proves unexpectedly successful, the group decides to continue their Robin Hood-style exploits, anonymously stealing and returning fur garments while supporting worthy causes. As the schemes become increasingly elaborate, laughter, mistaken identities and unexpected camaraderie abound—until Scotland Yard begins to investigate.
