Synopsis

A macho business executive suddenly has bedroom problems with his long-term wife and mother of his children.

Failure in any part of his life has never been an option.

So he recruits his wife into solving the problem through the "live our fantasy:" sex therapy technique pioneered by Dr. Leopold Baumgartner.

The wife discovers the dominatrix/diva buried beneath the gracious hostess, and they blackmail their high-rise super and a nervous burglar into taking part in the sex therapy.

The result is a comedy of fantasies gone wrong, taboos colliding with hidden yearnings, and sex-role switches run amok.

Characters

Character
Mrs. Griffin

an elegantly attractive woman in her forties with the calmly self-assured bearing of someone who probably did her preteen shopping at Bergdorff-Goodman’s.

Connelly

40s; a super whose body has the look of a once-burly frame softened by immersion in oceans of beer. His broad face wears the serenity appropriate to one who has come to accept life in terms of a little something on the side or under the table.

Mr. Griffin

50s; beetle-browed; square-jawed; the perfect picture of a successful middle-aged business executive.

Louise

Mrs. Griffin’s sister.

Burglar

50s; skinny; nervous-looking.
