GOLF UMBRELLA, THE

by Home, William Douglas

Robert, a failing playwright, is inspired to write his next play on the theme on adultery. Having read the first draft, his wife Susan claims his seduction scene lacks realism and Robert admits that he has had no experience whatsoever with extra-marital affairs. Susan decides to provide him with the experience he needs for his research, and arranges a romantic liaison for him with an old flame, Sheila. Susan makes herself scarce while Robert sets to wooing Sheila, who unfortunately realises all too soon that she is being framed and proceeds to foil his plans. Deflated, Robert phones Susan at her mothers to let her know that their plan has backfired - however Susan is elsewhere, and we are left wondering whether she is carrying out a seduction scenario of her own!
