Zany Situation Comedy!
The play takes place in the loft apartment of
Arnold and Roxanne Schneider. He is a fifty
something inveterate gambler and sports fan
who is wholly indifferent to his health. He
doesn’t shave every day but he never misses a
meal. She is in her twenties, very attractive
and street-smart with a humor and sense of
reality that are refreshingly her own. Into their lives
comes handsome Dr. Peter Wellington who has been
hired to be a live-in fitness guru of sorts. Though Schneider
agreed to this method, he rebels when he can’t have all his vices around him
while he diets and exercises. After lots of door-slamming and double-daring,
Schneider becomes the epitome of a makeover to an extreme degree. Dr.
Wellington falls hopelessly in love with Roxanne and she struggles to get her
old life back. In the end she gets her way as she straightens out both men in a
style all her own.
