Both were light comedies about English hypocrisy, the first a satirical take on Princess Margaret's marriage to the commoner Antony Armstrong-Jones. (Heilpern, p. 287). The End of Me Old Cigar opened at the Greenwich Theatre in 1973. Titled after a suggestive old Music Hall song that was intended as a risqué modern Restoration comedy about a brassy brothel keeper.
