Everybody wants something. But what will they do get it? When fabulously wealthy General Kingsley throws a coming-out party for his staggeringly beautiful (but not overly bright) daughter Julia, all the local predators swoop in for the kill: a corrupt judge, a slimy lawyer, an unscrupulous psychiatrist and an explosive-tempered munition manufacturer. The greedy General is scheming to sell off his valuable offspring to the bidder offering him the most profitable deal. All of the suitors want Julia's money - and they're not averse to satisfying their other desires at her expense. None of them have any scruples in gaining what they want; blackmail, drugs, deception and coercion are all part of their arsenal. As sweet and trusting as she is simple-minded, Julia doesn't stand a chance . . . Luckily for her, her best pal Sherry has more than enough brains for both of them. And Sherry will need all her brainpower to deliver Julia safely into the arms of the man she loves. Sherry must manage this feat while simultaneously fending off her own infatuated admirers and beating the tricksters at their own foul games. Trying to save her friend, the cynical, love-wary Sherry learns a few vital lessons about amour for herself. It's an intrigue comedy, fast-paced and full of plot twists that would make a pretzel riding a Mobius strip feel envious. It's a screwball comedy full of back-stabbings, double-crosses and zany characters. It's a romantic comedy of True Love versus Untrue Lust. It's a satire of the human condition. It's OBJECTS OF DESIRE, a classic Restoration play updated for the 21st Century. So . . . what would you do for what you love? Read OBJECTS OF DESIRE and find out!
