Maraczek’s Parfumerie, 1930s Eastern Europe. Head clerk Georg Nowack (Rowan Witt) and the newest employee Amalia Balash (Caitlin Berry) are in love – just not with each other. In fact you could say that it was loathe at first sight. Each is engaged in a passionate and anonymous correspondence with a ‘Dear Friend’ who they are yet to meet. But it’s not just Georg and Amalia who are dealing with relationship problems. Cashier Ilona Ritter (Zoe Gertz) is finding her boyfriend and co-worker Stephen Kodaly (Kurt Phelan) a less than reliable lover; owner Mr Maraczek (Tony Llewellyn-Jones) has received some disturbing news about his wife; clerk Ladislov Sipos (Jay James-Moody) will do anything to keep his job; and delivery boy Arpad (Joel Granger) has greater ambitions for his future.

As Christmas approaches and the staff deal with demanding customers and complicated inter-personnel relationships, Georg and Amalia discover the truth about the identities of their unknown correspondents, much to their dismay, or is it in fact, delight?

Featuring the songs Vanilla Ice-CreamTonight at Eight and Will He Like MeShe Loves Me is a witty and enchanting chamber musical directed by upcoming director, Erin James.
