The communicating doors of the title are in a hotel room and they, to the guest's surprise, allow some of them to travel through time, returning to the same hotel room. But not everybody gets transported to the same era!

Julian has procured a prostitute for Reece. The girl, Phoebe, is a dominatrix who goes by the name Poopay Daysir. As it turns out, Reece doesn't want her for what she usually gets paid for, but instead wants her to witness a confession and then deliver it to trusted hands. Reece has been very successful in life, along with his business partner Julian, but it has come at a high cost. Two of Reece's wives were killed by Julian along the way. Julian gets wise to the fact that there is a confession revealing his crimes and that Poopay knows about them and, naturally, he plans to get rid of her as well. She escapes, sort of, through the infamous communicating doors. Can she convince Reece's wives that they are in danger? Or will Julian find her first?

This play is adapted from Charles Dance's screenplay for his 2004 film of the same name (starring Judi Dench and Maggie Smith), which was itself based on a 1908 short story by William J. Locke.

Set in Cornwall in the mid-1930s, the play tells of two spinster sisters, Ursula and Janet Widdington. Their lives are turned upside down when they discover a young man washed ashore on the beach, close to death. They nurse him back to health and discover he is a talented Polish violinist, on his way to seek a career in the USA. Despite her sister's concerns, Ursula falls in love with Andrea. It leads to a journey of discovery for her and a poignant ending.

Greg and Ginny are a young co-habiting couple. When Greg finds a strange pair of slippers under the bed, he is too besotted to believe they might have been left by another man (which would also explain the bunches of flowers and boxes of sweets). Ginny goes off for a day in the country, supposedly to visit her parents but actually to break things off with her older married lover, Philip. Greg follows her and shows up unannounced, before Ginny, at the house Philip shares with his befuddled wife Sheila and wrongly assumes that they are her parents. Greg asks Philip for her hand in marriage, and Philip mistakenly believes that the strange young man is asking permission to marry Sheila. Once Ginny arrives, she convinces Philip to play the role of her father. Meanwhile, Greg still believes that Sheila is Ginny's mother and the situation becomes increasingly confused.
