"a lush, lavish, and quite frisky tale" – IndieWire
Dashingly handsome bachelor Mr Malcolm has his pick of ladies waiting to take his hand, yet he remains steadfastly unmarried. After Malcolm rejects her, Julia Thistlewaite (Ashton) discovers that he actually has a list of qualities required of a future wife, so she hatches a plan to give him his comeuppance.
She invites her dear friend Selina to London, in order to have her masquerade as Malcolm’s ideal woman before revealing that he does not meet her standards. The ruse springs into action, but as Selina spends more time with Malcolm, their true fondness for one another cannot be ignored.
Based on Suzanne Allain’s novel, this playful Regency piece is elevated by its stunning costumes and sharp performances.
