Synopsis

Concerns a preposterous and manifestly outrageous duel to be fought by the newlyweds, Bill and Sally Oakes in their living room.

A childish but nevertheless serious argument is started and it snowballs into a tempestuous challenge-- a challenge to a duel with pistols.

Plans are made, seconds are chosen and the duel, after false starts and interruptions gets under way.

The duel solves the problem for the Oaks.

A delightfully different play.
