About this event
This adaptation of the play that inspired the films The Shop Around the Corner and You’ve Got Mail, as well as the musical She Loves Me is a warm, gentle comedy that follows the tangled tale of beleaguered parfumerie employee, George Horvath. Just days before Christmas, George’s boss fires him, believing (mistakenly) that George has been having an affair with his wife. Meanwhile, George’s own love life goes off the rails when he realizes that the stranger he’s fallen in love with through the exchange of letters is Amalia Balash, a co-worker he cannot stand! In the end, truths are revealed and happy resolution is reached in this old-fashioned Christmas romance. E.P. Dowdall adapted the play from the original Hungarian, written by his uncle, Miklos Laszlo.
