					| Description | 
  					A musical parody of the Mills and Boon novel, in which two writers try to create romances based on the tip sheet provided by that publisher to its prospective authors. The show revolves around an aspiring novelist, John Husband, and his assistant (and poet in her own right), Mary Rosegarden, who dream of fame and fortune, but are constantly blighted by rejection slips from publishers. |
