A play written in the early 20th century. The piece revolves around the newlywed couple, Cedric and Flora Haslam, as they navigate their first few hours of marriage during a seaside honeymoon. The dialogue is lively and humorous, exploring themes of love, family expectations, and the complications that arise from the couple's respective famous parents. The opening of the play sets the stage at a charming seaside hotel where Cedric, a renowned aviator, and Flora, a widow, share playful banter while attempting to plan their honeymoon adventures. Despite the excitement of their marriage, both characters reveal a sense of nervousness as they discuss where they should go next, with Flora resisting the idea of being recognized in Paris due to their famous families. Their conversation is punctuated by moments of intimacy and light conflicts, presenting a comedic tableau of modern metropolitan life interrupted by the realities of fame and familial obligations. The comedic tension is further deepened by the arrival of characters related to their respective families, hinting at complications that will unfold later in the story.
