Mapp & Lucia

Subtly brilliant comedy of social rivalry between the wars. Emmeline Lucas known universally to her friends as Lucia is an archsnob of the highest order. In Miss Elizabeth Mapp of Mallards Lucia meets her match. Ostensibly the most civil and genteel of society ladies there is no plan too devious no plot too cunning no depths to which they would not sink in order to win the battle for social supremacy. Using as their deadly weapons garden parties bridge evenings and charming teas the two combatants strive to outcharm each other and the whole of Tilling society as they vie for the position of doyenne of the town.
