Taking Steps
Alan Ayckbourn
Habeas Corpus
by Alan Bennett
Synopsis
The antics at the Wicksteed home are a satirical merry-go-round.
Family, friends and the sexual satisfaction of the "corpus" (body) are the ruling passions in this farcical comedy of ill-manners.
Through a dance of mistaken identities and carnal encounters, one motto holds fast: "He whose lust lasts, lasts longest."
"A parade of wit."
- The New York Times
"A marvelous freaky farce...rowdy and ribald."
