Summary
Ethel and Bill Brown await the arrival of Violet’s new young man – the posh Trevor who works in fine art — and Ethel has made a splendid tea to impress Trevor.

Determined to make a killing, Trevor introduces the Browns to Mrs Miller and Toby, a mother and son with definite attitude and a very nasty pair of bolt cutters. But who’s fooling who? A comedy with a twist for three men and three women.
