Synopsis:
Set in the doctor’s common room of a London Hospital,
Dr David Mortimore is rehearsing his speech for the prestigious Ponsonby Lecture,
which could lead to his knighthood, when in bursts an old flame, hotly pursued by her
(their?) son, who is hotly pursued by the police. Impersonations and rehearsals for
the hospital pantomime all make for a delightfully frantic farce.
