In the Venus Arms: A Diabolical Farce (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798686590274)

SYNOPSIS: 4M/2W. Written in three scenes. There is no intermission. This black comedy features the playwright himself. Spiritless, Wells is threatened by the night manager of The Venus Arms, a residential hotel, with permanent dispossession, leaving an empty, though very animated body. Four literati arrive to perform an "inorcism" (as opposed to an exorcism) to restore Wells' spirit. Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas along with Oscar Wilde and Marcel Proust raise havoc while trying to raise the consciousness of the subject of their inorcism while Franz Kafka, the night manager, pops up in the form of a cockroach seemingly intent on the playwright's doom in this fun-filled, clever and diabolical farce.
