SYNOPSIS The story is one of lovers whose lives are complicated when flowers are delivered to the wrong recipients. Kate Gill and her cousin, Laura, nearly lose their lovers as a result of a mix-up. The fault lies with Kate’s brother, Edward, a deplorable rake who becomes regrettably tipsy and mixes up the two bouquets entrusted to him by his friends, Julian and Albert. After much misunderstanding, all ends happily. MUSICAL NUMBERS: ACT 1 Fly Forth, O Gentle Dove (I Sent a Letter to My Love) (Music by M.
