Paris 1945.

Christiane waits for a ticket to England that will reunite her with her fiancé.

While she waits, this irrepressible mademoiselle recounts the love story between her - an eccentric, acutely-myopic Parisian - and a tongue tied English teacher from Staffordshire…

In 2002, Caroline Horton’s French grandmother moved into sheltered housing. 

Amongst a lifetime of clutter, Caroline found a shoebox containing her wartime letters and pieced together her story from the letters and their conversations about her past, a past that is slipping away from her.

The show she created is a tender, comic portrayal of one woman's experience of love and war.

Audience: Everyone 12+
