Through a series of flashbacks interspersed with Lyman's hospital room, memory slips into fact as accusations fly between the women and his daughter Bessie, but fact merges into fantasy as Lyman attempts to justify his past actions. All of them, he points out, have been happier in this time than ever before, but ultimately his innocent selfishness results in psychologically bruised women scattered about him, who ultimately make him pay the price by abandoning him. `The situation is everything: comedy if one thinks, tragedy if one feels. The result is an immensely satisfying evening's theatre.' - Financial Times.
