  Georgiana, an ageing actress has lived a colourful life - acting with the famous, mingling with the not so famous and sleeping with everyone (male as well as female). She now lives an impoverished but still elegant life in a tiny flat chosen for its full- length stunning windows. The highlight of her social calendar is her monthly soiree held for her colourful, highly camp, gay circle of friends. Reflected in her glorious windows are: Ulric, who loves opera but teaches choirs, Midge, a mild alcoholic but a sweet lover (as they have all experienced), fussy, womanly Steven-John who was Sheila before his sex-change, beautiful Fiona and her photographer 'wife' Lorraine, Chelsey, a fiery middle-aged actress still waiting for her moment of glory, Sir Toby of some foreign office and some hangers-on. The composition of their party is severely and serenely controlled by Georgiana and never varies, until one day Lorraine brings along Lucy...a plain faced, hungry, blunt and extremely manipulative young lesbian. She has a lethal effect on their pretentiously self-indulgent, narcissistic world...
