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.”
First performed in 1973 starring Alec Guinness, Alan Bennett’s hilarious play takes the traditional British farce of prior years to the extreme. – It’s all the trousers-down, mistaken identity, and not-so-subtle sexual innuendo you might expect, presented with a knowing nod and a wink from master satirist, Bennett.
Please Note: This play contains some references to suicidal tendencies
