Meddling Mrs Bentley is seeking husbands for her spinster daughters, and the audience is invited to get involved and help them secure an advantageous marriage. Expect some recognisable plotlines, familiar characters and just a little bit of nonsense as you immerse yourself in wooing, weeping and wagers as this joyful story comes to life around you.
