Three short stories comprise this entertaining collection by one of the UK’s leading playwright and author.  Sex and death are leading players which interact and intersect in a charming fashion.  An Anglican minister presides over the celebrity-filled funeral/memorial service for a bisexually active masseur as the congregation worries about AIDS.  A spinster and an aging chiropodist exchange pounds for foot fetishism satisfaction.  A son beds a nurse during the one moment he’s waited patient days for—his father’s death.  Life is a foolish exercise which ends too soon.
