St Albans newspaper review

Based on Damon Runyon's short story "The Idyll of Miss Sarah Brown", "Guys & Dolls" revolves around Nathan Detroit, the organiser of the oldest established permanent floating crap game in New York, who bets fellow gambler Sky Masterton that he can't make the next girl he sees fall in love with him.  The next girl he sees happens to be Miss Sarah Brown, a pure-at-heart Salvation Army type reformer, and the stage is set for an hilarious evening of complications.
