a comedy by Alan Bennett 02.10.01 - 06.10.01
Simply staged, this play introduces the Wicksteeds, a family for whom the determination to put sex and the satisfaction of the body before everything else is the ruling passion of their lives.
Permissive society is taken to task in this farcical comedy in which the characters move in and out through a maze of mistaken identities and sexual encounters.
As Wicksteed says, 'He whose lust lasts, lasts longest'.
Produced by Carol Travis by arrangement with Samuel French Ltd
