“The Season” refers to the 1892 London social season. The Season is filled with dances and social get-togethers of all kinds. Honestly, it’s all about finding a husband. See and be seen, flirt, smile, charm. The men are looking too, of course. And so it goes.

The season is ending, and Sybil is leaving without a fiancé. Sir Harry has proposed, but she demurred. For she loves another. He is Edward, and he loves her. But they are both so naïve, young, proud, and stubborn that they refuse to admit these emotions to each other. It’s a recipe for heartbreak. Perhaps the kindly Sir Harry can use his wisdom to fix this mess.

This was the twentieth production by the Virtual Playhouse, invented to provide entertainment during the COVID restrictions. Metropolitan Playhouse has done an excellent job in rising to the challenge. The actors have adapted to remote rehearsals and performing independently from their own homes via little Zoom boxes. Every production is a treat. This was no exception.
