Synopsis

Based on the best-selling novel of the same name, the musical tells the tale of Chloe who desperately needs a holiday. She's sick of making wedding dresses and her partner, Philip has troubles at work. Her wealthy friend Gerard has offered the loan of his luxury villa in Spain - Perfect. Hugh is not a happy man. His immaculate wife Amanda seems more interested in her new kitchen than him and he works so hard to pay for it, he barely has time for his children. Maybe he'll have a chance to bond with them on holiday. His friend Gerard has lent him a luxury villa in Spain - Perfect.

What no-one else realises is that Chloe and Hugh have a history, and as tensions rise, old passions resurface. It seems that Gerard's ?accidental' double booking may not be an accident after all...
