The play follows two very different couples who meet at a Spanish hotel on holiday in the 1960s
David Pearce has just been laid off his job as a draughtsman, and decides to blow some of his redundancy money on a foreign holiday to the Costa del Sol, determined to enjoy it to the hilt
His mistrusting wife Amy is unimpressed by his glib tongue as David talks up the carefree life
Also staying at the hotel are Robert and Linda Cochrane
Robert is a successful businessman whose jingoistic beliefs have led to a strong dislike of all foreigners, while his more vivacious wife's temperament has been dulled by years of an unhappy marriage
When their paths cross, David and Linda immediately fall for one another, each representing a much needed diversion from their empty marriages
They soon decide to leave together on their own holiday
But will they have the nerve to confront their spouses and see their plans through ?
A delightful period comedy from the author of the hugely successful TV sitcoms Duty Free and Rising Damp
