Beau Jest

Hackney Empire, 291 Mare Street, London
When Sarah Goldman, a lovely young school teacher wants to please her parents, she invents a boyfriend that she believes will be the man of her mother's dreams. When her parents insist on meeting the man, Sarah hires Bob, an actor, to pretend to be her "beau". Although the plan works flawlessly for a time, a combination of some hilarious situations lead to their lives being irrevocably changed.
