- Summary:
- Bellingford is a typical English village. Genteel vices and unspecified dramas occasionally occur but always behind closed doors and carefully laundered lace curtains--until the news breaks that the new occupants of Hall House are "two gentlemen sharing." With the arrival of Rich, a producer, and his much younger lover, Bless, a model, the scene is set for mayhem. Tossed into the mix are a homophobic, retired general; a maniacal lesbian Italian biker in pursuit of a neurotic, inadvertently drugged Bellingford woman; an addled ex-ballerina; and assorted other native weirdness--all leading to a roller-coaster ride through the sexual mores of life.
- Two Gentlemen Sharing is a comedy of manners that spirals from gentle humor to the heights of British farce, a la television's Absolutely Fabulous, as Rich, Bless, and their friends from London discover the unexpected complexities and heart-stopping surprises of rustic bliss.
