The play is adapted from the Mapp and Lucia novels written by E. F. Benson. As Miss Mapp and Lucia vie for the position as Queen Bee of the little village of Tilling, they involve, willingly or otherwise, their friends and neighbours, and the play takes us through the events of one summer from the Art Show to the dizzy heights of the pageant.
