A new radio version by Alastair Scott Johnston
The Lilac Domino is the first of the new series of operettas, old and new, which will occupy this spot for the next few weeks. Set in the French Riviera, it tells the story of a wealthy old roue, Gaston le Sage, engaged to a young and beautiful widow, Leonie, and his nephew Paul, and his daughter Georgine. Paul, destined to marry Georgine, unfortunately loves Leonie, and Georgine falls for Jack Allison, a gambler and remittance man. Thus what is an essentially simple situation turns into an absolutely splendid mess before all is finally sorted out.
