It’s their first trip abroad and the married pair have to grapple with French cuisine, wrestle with the phrase book and fend off would be muggers on the Metro.
The experience is to have a profound effect on the way the young couple perceive the world around them, once they return home.
Brook Street Productions, based in Watlington, are a new theatre group and this is their first full-length play.
The cast includes the company’s founders Amanda-Jane Short (who also directs) and Jonathan Niton.
