January 1945. Paris is liberated. Christiane, an eccentric, acutely-myopic Parisian, waits in Gare du Nord for a ticket to England to be reunited with her fiancé. Whilst she waits, this irrepressible mademoiselle recounts the story of her love affair with Cyril, a tongue-tied English teacher from Staffordshire. From a chance encounter at Cheadle Tennis Club, their story takes us to cosmopolitan 1930s Paris and through the trials of separation when war interrupts their unlikely romance. A fond, comical and ultimately poignant portrait of one woman's experience of love and war from Best Solo Performance nominee (The Stage Awards 2009) Caroline Horton.
