✦ Synopsis

“Oh well, if you don’t want to hear my news—” He loosed my arm, and I hurried from the room, reflecting that I had offended two husbands in one day, a record for any woman. In this body swap comedy from the 1930s, the minds of two strangers, Lady Elizabeth and Polly Wilkinson, switch places – randomly and without warning – with alarming and hilarious results. With wry observations on class, behaviour and relationships, as both attempt to navigate the different social settings and awkward personal situations they suddenly find themselves thrust into, the two women eventually learn to control their ‘gift’ and use it to their advantage.
