The China Shop is a literate comedy. Ending years of self-exile following the death of his wife, semi-famous poet Derby Walters accepts a housesitting invitation at a Manhattan co-op. Wanting to inconspicuously slip back into society slowly, Derby is thwarted by an inquisitive neighbor, her pushy mother, members of the co-op board and a lawyer determined to have him thrown out of the building for a seemingly murky past. While his hopes for privacy fail, one infuriating exception forces the overly intellectual Derby to recognize that happiness is often a matter of recognizing the potential of breaking a few plates.
