About This Book

A three-act stage comedy centers on a married man's impulsive attraction to a younger woman and the ripple effects through his household and local community. Intimate domestic scenes alternate with a public workplace setting as flirtation, jealousy, gossip, and an ailing neighbor produce misunderstandings and confrontations. The play probes tensions between personal desire and marital duty, gendered expectations of freedom and fidelity, and the performative nature of respectability, balancing social critique with brisk comic situations.
