Overview

This sure hit for stock and dinner theaters is about politics, sexual equality and sex. In New York City on election night Irene Porter, widowed Democratic contender for a congressional seat, has just learned she's been narrowly defeated by the elderly male Republican incumbent. Picking up the pieces, Irene turns to romance and bed. Her first fling is with her campaign manager and her second one night later is with her campaign treasurer. The two men come to blows over her and then they turn on her, accusing her of fickleness. But Irene gets her man and turns her thoughts to running for mayor. Colleen Dewhurst starred on Broadway.
