Helene sends them food parcels, as the play starts in the late forties and early fifties when rationing was still on.
Gradually a warmth develops between the couple and it goes on to include the rest of the staff in the shop and Frank’s family. There then starts a friendship between her and the manager of the shop, Frank Doel. She obtains the books from a bookshop in London. It is based on the book by Helene Hanff and tells the story of an impoverished American author living in New York and her love affair with fine books and good literature. 84 Charing Cross Rd is a fine example of this.
There is the staple diet of thrillers and comedies which the audience love, and now and again a different play is thrown into the mix. Seaford Little Theatre has, over the years, given us wonderful entertainment.
