Full Length, Farce

3 m., 2 f.

Int.

David Pearce, Associate Professor of English, is giving a tutorial to pretty coed who aspires to the lofty heights of poetical inspiration and to romance. David is fending her off when the department chairman's wife barges in with plans to make her husband jealous by telling him she is having a torrid affair with David. David is shocked and worried about his tenure review. He is even more shocked when the chairman arrives, boiling, and finds his wife in one room and the love smitten coed in another. Matters become hilariously complicated until David finally manages to deny involvement in an affair, get rid of a persistent life insurance salesman, and conclude that the poetical coed has possibilities.

"A barrel of laughs. A farce in the true tradition of that very specific and demanding form. There are plenty of funny lines, a lot of comic business, vigorous action and a lot of . . . banging doors!" CJBB Radio .
