London, 1905. A show. A stuttering romance. Two squabbling actresses.
Is it Shakespeare? Is it Vaudeville?
Not quite. It is Mrs Morphett's Macaroons, a satirical play about suffragettes which its creators - friends, colleagues and would-be lovers Robbie Robinson and Violet Graham - are preparing to mount in London's West End.
It is the play rival actresses Merry and Gaye would kill to be in, if only they hadn't insulted the producer all those years ago.
For Robbie and Violet meanwhile there are backers to be appeased, actors to be tamed and a theatre to be found; and in the midst of it all a budding romance that risks being undermined by professional differences.
Never mix business with pleasure?
Well - maybe, maybe not.
