Garry is a vainglorious actor who is about to celebrate his birthday with a trip to Africa. But when Garry's posh London flat is invaded by a love-struck ingénue, his estranged wife, an adulterous producer and a crazed young playwright, so begins the kind of midlife crisis that could only come from the brilliant mind of comic genius – and master of the mix-up – Noël Coward.
