Romance writer Godfrey has run off to Venice with his mistress, actress Lydia Hillington, but after a year she’s bored of Venice – and increasingly bored of being Godfrey’s muse. Hearing that casting is in progress for a new play, Lydia decides to return to London in secret to audition for the lead role. Meanwhile, Godfrey, hoping to secure divorce papers from his wife, also returns secretly to London...
