An acting couple, Charlotte and George Hay, who are not exactly the Lunts, are on tour in Buffalo in 1953 with a repertory consisting of Cyrano de Bergerac and Noel Coward's i Private Lives.  This backstage farce by the author of Lend Me a Tenor, brought Carol Burnett back to Broadway and also starred Philip Bosco as her megalomaniac, often drunk husband and leading man. Fate has given these thespians one more shot at starring roles in Hollywood and director Frank Capra himself is en route to Buffalo to catch their matinee performance. Will Charlotte appear or run off with their agent?  Will George be sober enough to emote? Will Capra see Cyrano, Private Lives or a disturbing mixture of the two. Hilarious misunderstandings pile on madcap misadventures, all of which are magnified by Charlotte's deaf mother who manages the theatre.
