Dear Diva

Dear Diva
Frances, middle-aged and unmarried, is ecstatically awaiting the arrival of legendary mega star of stage and screen ezzlie Harlow. Loyal fan Frances, unbeknown to ezzlie, has offered her very humble end-of-terrace home to the down on her luck singer. Harlow's agent, eager to be rid of his fading star, has bundled her off with a one way ticket to what she thinks is a little mansion with servant; he forgot to mention Little Mansion is the name of the village at the back of beyond. Both the Fan and the Star are in for shocks, betrayal and a reversal of fortune, as they learn from each other to be careful what you wish for, because it might come to pass.

Notes:
