Title: Hands across the sea
Description: A sparkling, hilarious and technically brilliant short comedy, 'Hands Across the Sea' is set at a cocktail party in a smart London flat where the telephone is always ringing and there are always three conversations happening at once. The earnest enquiries, enthusiastic reminiscences and society anecdotes scream along at dazzling pace, impeded not a jot by the hosts having no idea who exactly their guests are. 'Hands Across the Sea' is a short play from the 'Tonight at 8.30' sequence, which was first produced at the Phoenix Theatre in London in 1936.
