Description
Synopsis
Quiet Please takes the audience on an enjoyable trip to a normally uneventful suburban library, which suddenly takes on a fast moving sequence of events due to the arrival of many different characters. The out of date library receives a visit from a Frenchman who is set on creating a gastronomic feast, a nurse who recalls a fatal mistaken identity. There is a Texan tycoon with his bossy wife, an irate mother, an undercover detective and a horticulturist with a combustible tree. Menacing bikies and innocent joggers all become involved in a comical climax which proves to be just too much for the somewhat behind the times librarians.
