Love Is All Round is a feminist publishing house where Harriet Copeland is running a competition to find new romantic fiction; their motto is "For Women, By Women."

To avoid this gender bias, Leonard Loftus is forced to submit his novel under a female pseudonym. So when Lulabelle Latiffa wins the first prize, Leonard begins to have a major problem. He is a bashful statistician lumbered with a spectacular alter ego. With domestic complications from his wayward daughter Dee Dee and Gus, his rascally old father, Leonard tries frantically to keep up the charade of Lulabelle.

Created by Danny Forward

DIRECTED BY FRED PEZZIMENTI | MUSICAL DIRECTION BY DANNY FORWARD | CHOREOGRAPY BY CAMILLA THREADGOLD

September 1st - 23rd, 2006

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do… when suddenly a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her…
