Description: Following the liberation of Paris in January 1945 an eccentric Parisian waits at Gare Du Nord for a ticket to England to be reunited with her fiancé. While she waits, she recounts the story of her love affair with a tongue-tied English teacher from Staffordshire. From a chance encounter at Cheadle tennis club, Chrissy takes us on to cosmopolitan 1930s Paris before their inevitable separation by war; a separation which she hopes, today, will finally come to an end. A fond, comical and ultimately poignant portrait of one woman's experience of war. The play was premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2010.
