Empathetic and enjoyable…it all rings utterly true.

About the Play

A Valentine’s outing featuring champagne, roses, and Matthew Barber’s romantic comedy, Fireflies.

Eleanor Bannister is a retired school teacher and a model of respectability. She lives a quiet and lonely life until Abel Brown comes to town. A handyman and drifter, the smooth-talking Brown does more than fix Eleanor’s roof.

The town begins to talk. Can Abel be trusted?
