In this rollicking comedy, young Oliver Adams is on the brink of a major success.His novel is set to be published and famed Broadway playwrights Charlotte and Arthur Sanders have already adapted his book for what is sure to be a huge stage hit.And who do they have their eye on as the leading lady?Margot Bell, of course – the very person Oliver adores.When everyone converges in Newport, Rhode Island for the weekend, the thin walls of the well-appointed mansion reveal that the angel may not be angelic, and only the power of theatre can save the play, Oliver’s novel, and perhaps most importantly, his heart.
