  Gwendolen and Cecily, Oscar Wilde’s most famous ladies, meet twenty years later and the barbs are still flying!

Before long, these two old friends are battling it out, once more, over the tea and cake. This time it's a struggle for whose is the right way of life, as the women face into a century of change and daunting new fashion trends. It's a meeting of unexpected revelations with some great one-liners along the way!
