COMEDY

"Sharp, withering and funny!" - N. Y. Times
In this daring comedy, Garry Essendine, an aging matinee idol and pampered actor, is busily making preparations for an extended tour. His apartment is invaded by Daphne, a beautiful but stage-struck youngster. When his entourage arrives, Garry is hard pressed to escape an embarrassing and easily misinterpreted situation. With typical Coward repartee and dazzling wit, he sidesteps complications and mounting confusion.
