A parade of wit.

The New York Times

A marvelous freaky farce...rowdy and ribald.

  • Set Requirements: Interior Set
The antics at the Wicksteed home are a satirical merry-go-round. Family, friends and the sexual satisfaction of the "corpus" (body) are the ruling passions in this farcical comedy of ill-manners.

Through a dance of mistaken identities and carnal encounters, one motto holds fast: "He whose lust lasts, lasts longest."
