About Habeas Corpus
Comedy:
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.”
This play was first produced at Cranbrook Community Theatre in 1975. Find it in our 1970’s Gallery listing.
