"Terrence McNally gets funnier and funnier. His "Bad Habits" is a twin bill and it's funny enough for two theatres." —NY Daily News.
In Dunelawn,
we are in an expensive retreat for the unhappily married, where the
wheel-chaired director, Dr. Pepper, dispenses a definitely unique sort
of marital guidance. His theory includes complete indulgence in such
"bad habits" as smoking, drinking and sexual promiscuity—which seems to
work wonders for his patients, whose wacky case histories are each
examined in hilarious detail. For Ravenswood the approach
is quite the opposite. Here the saintly Dr. Toynbee injects his
straitjacketed charges with tranquilizing drugs to calm such urges—but
again the catalogue of aberrations revealed in his patients is subjected
to close, and enormously funny, scrutiny.
