Von
Trapped! By Jonathan Harvey stars Caroline Quentin (Life Begins,
Jonathan Creek, Men Behaving Badly) as Maria Moogan, a mobile
hairdresser from Manchester, who is obsessed with The Sound of Music
having watched it the night she was jilted at the alter, pregnant and
emotionally wrought. Now, 18 years later she lives with her man-hating
mother Kath, played by Una Stubbs (In Sickness and in Health, Til Death
Us Do Part), and only child Lee, a moody teenager with all sorts of
hormonal problems. It's a pretty claustrophobic existence. When Maria's
best friend Connie wins the lottery, using Maria's lucky number 7, she
gives Maria 10,000 of her winnings - with the stipulation that she must
go to Salzburg to get The Sound of Music out of her system. While there,
she bumps into Lee's father, now a successful but unhappy TV presenter.
What results is a surprising, magical process of release and
understanding that puts The Sound of Music to shame.
