"I'll Leave It To You": A Light Comedy In Three Acts

Set in the cozy hall of Mulberry Manor just days before Christmas, the play opens with a lively household where the chatter of relatives mixes with the crackle of a log fire. Joyce, bundled in a fur coat, complains about her cold feet while her bright‑eyed niece Sylvia fusses over proper winter attire. Into this warm domestic scene steps Bobbie, a restless young man whose penchant for sport and adventure clashes humorously with the genteel expectations of his family.

As the characters trade witty barbs and gentle teasing, a subtle rivalry bubbles beneath the surface—Bobbie’s desire for excitement runs against the tranquil rhythm of manor life, while old grudges and secret affections begin to stir. The dialogue sparkles with the lighthearted banter and clever repartee that define this three‑act comedy, promising a charming exploration of family dynamics, mistaken assumptions, and the gentle chaos that erupts when everyone tries to “leave it” to someone else.
