Description When two playwrighting colleagues and their young composer protege, Albert, arrive unannounced at a house party on the Italian Riviera, all seems set for an idyllic holiday. But their plans are shattered when they chance to overhear amorous advances being made upon Albert's one and only true-love, by her ex-lover... The Play's the Thing is a highly stylised and an ingenious theatrical play-within-a-play with all the ingredients of a true Wodehouse comedy - including the butler!
