About This Book

A two-act farce staged in eight tableaux that combines comic romance, caper and theatrical whimsy. A humble hairdresser courts a dressmaker while an apparently animated statue of Venus becomes mysteriously attached to him. Thieves scheme to steal an antique Venus from public gardens, prompting a police inspector to lie in wait. The statue’s sudden animation produces chaotic encounters in the gardens and later in the barber’s shop, generating misunderstandings, foiled robberies and a return to normality by the finale.
