About this release
Junior reporter Eddie Harland arrives expecting to collect six inches of harmless social notes. Instead, the evening gives him borrowed suits, bad arithmetic, a false age, a missed bus, the ambitions of the bandleader's daughter and the name of the woman everybody else simply calls the cloakroom girl. Around him, the Palais works as hard as its dancers: chairs are carried, coats numbered, admission counted, music copied and mistakes corrected.
Music, lyrics and script by Darren Penman.
