Book Description




Captain Oates' Left Sock


Book Description

A play about group therapy in a psychiatric clinic. The group have gathered for therapy. There's sex-obsessed David, Juliet who wants to be punished, fidgety Carter, and Celia who is only trying to help. Through suicide, slander and sly liaisons in the garden, they try to make each other well - or, perhaps, use each other to feel better about themselves. And sitting silently in the corner is Doctor Parks. He may not believe in a cure, but he's sure his methods are sound.




The City Madam
