New Zealand Playwright April Phillips has created a touching storyline into which she has woven many Sinatra favourites.

As Frances prepares to farewell her beloved Mum, she visits the family home and finds some old letters. They are fan letters to Frank Sinatra, written by her late Mum when she was young, but never posted. As Frances reads them and learns of her Mum’s hopes and dreams we are taken back to a 60’s nightclub where, as a young woman, Frances’ Mum regularly performed with Jimmy and Andy, backed by a great live band and treated their audiences to some great Sinatra songs..

But what happened to those dreams? Frances reads on – and finds out.
