SUMMARY: farce
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’
