The Bed Before Yesterday
by Ben Travers
Synopsis
The Bed Before Yesterday is a comedy for four men and four women.
Alma, a rich but physically far from lovely widow, has had no sexual experience since the sole, off-putting occasion of her wedding night some twenty years ago.
She marries the impoverished gentleman, Victor, now equally uninterested in sexual activities, on the understanding that their relationship shall be based on friendship and convenience.
However, various surprising circumstances, connected partly with Victor's son and unconventional girlfriend, and partly with her own free-and-easy cousin, warm up Alma's long-cooled fires, with unexpected, but presumably satisfying results for both her and her new husband.4 women, 5 men
