Description:

Sir Claude Mulhammer thinks that Colby Simpkins is his long-estranged son. He tries to sneak Colby into the house as his "confidential clerk" in hopes that the very eccentric Lady Mulhammer will decide to "adopt" him. As multiple parent-child identities are revealed, Eliot's modern verse play touches on the sources of longing and the need to be loved.
