This riotous comic farce notched up a staggeringly successful sixteen-year run in the West End! Peter and Frances could reasonably expect to look forward to a calm, happy start to their married life together. Owing to an unfortunate mistake, however, they find themselves inundated with pornographic material from the “Scandinavian Import Company”. Senior bank officials, Peter’s snobbish mother, and a prim, respectable bank cashier become inextricably entangled in the rambunctious events that follow.

I regard the rather long illnesses as a kind of death which separates us and makes us forget everyone and I try to accustom myself to this first kind of death in order to be less frightened one day of the other. However, by St. John I do not want to die.

–—Voltaire, from a letter of Sept. 10, 1724 (he was 30 years old; he lived to be almost 84).
