Thursday 22- Saturday 24th March: Dating by the Book

This comedy is about Juliet Raphael's attempts to find a date for an awards ceremony, so she can save her literary agency from becoming one more business to sink during the recession. Hindering her in this quest are the lecherous advances from her top client, Jacques Noir, a celebrity French chef, the meddlesome interferences of her sister Tina and the disturbing personal habits of Ron, a travelling salesman born without the subtlety gene. To succeed against all of that Juliet is going to need a plain old miracle, but maybe Pascal, Jacques embittered younger brother, can help...
