Outline of Play

Dr. Arthur Wicksteed, an outwardly respectable GP from Hove, has one interest in life - 'our friends, the ladies'.

He, his family and their friends and acquaintances rush around from one unlikely situation to another, led by their bodies, not their minds.

'King Sex' rules, and all other rules exist to be broken.
