...SLIP A QUARTER into my jukebox. Chances are the music will be thin, but with my luck, the management will turn the volume up. Chords that were farfetched or tries-counting become velvety, even lash, and, if you hear the song more than once, you can bury yourself in it as you munch your french fries.

Ventroux (Phil Kirby), a French politician, is trying to explain to his wife, Clarisse (Nancy Cotton), that it is indecent for their son to see her wearing only her slip. She doesn't understand what is wrong with this or, for that matter, with her being seen in her nightgown by household servants, peeping-tom neighbors, and even Hochepaix, the mayor of a nearby town. The play's central conflict is caused when Clarisse's ingenuous and disputable logic meets...
