From Olivier Award nominated playwright Peter Quilter (End of the Rainbow, Glorious!) comes a new heart-warming comedy with music, starring national treasure Maureen Lipman (BAFTA nominee Pianist, Coronation Street, See How They Run, Educating Rita).

Allegra is full of life, joy and an irresistible urge to sing. She bursts into song at home, in the street, and even in shops and restaurants. Sometimes the music plays only in her imagination, but often it spills into real and disruptive performances that create chaos in her quiet village and amuse, confuse or exasperate everyone she meets.

Her brother Ronen and her carer Anna try to keep her exuberance under control while avoiding angry visits from the local policeman. Yet they face an impossible challenge. How can they protect Allegra without dimming the happiness and wonder that fill her heart and define her spirit?

Maureen Lipman stars as Allegra, in this moving comedy with lively musical sequences and plenty of laughter. It is also a tender and emotional story about family, love and the way even the most beautiful minds can begin to disappear.
