Please Don't Eat the Daisies

A drama professor-turned-theater critic navigates the challenges of his dual identities, juggling the demands of his career with the responsibilities of family life in a new rural setting.

The family of six, including drama critic Larry Mackay, his wife Kate, and their four sons, leave behind the bustle of Manhattan for a quieter life in the countryside. As Kate adapts to her new role as a homemaker, Larry remains drawn to the vibrant theater and social scene in New York. However, Kate's contentment is soon disrupted when Larry shares a tantalizing account of a chance encounter with Deborah Vaughn, a stunning Broadway star, sparking doubts about his faithfulness.
