A SAMUEL FRENCH, LTD. TITLE

Jeannie

Full-Length Play, Drama  /  4w, 4m

Aimee Stuart

It is 1936 in a “wee one-eyed” town in Scotland. Jeannie is a drudge for her mean controlling father, but dreams of a different life. When she receives a large inheritance, she seizes the opportunity to finally escape to the glamour and sophistication of European travel.

During her stay in Vienna, she encounters Stanley, a washing machine inventor from Yorkshire, and then a real Viennese Count.

But Jeannie is no pushover. She knows her own mind, she is a stickler for the truth, and she hates scroungers…

A 1930s version of the Cinderella story, Jeannie is a charming light romantic comedy.

Written by one of the West End’s most successful female playwrights between the wars – and a fascinating character in her own right.
