Overseeing the research company is the unseen Dr Scholtz whom Dr Max feels has a list of well known celebrities who should get first pick at the drug in return for mega-bucks.  There are physical jokes too, the sinister people in bio hazard suits lurking in the background or when Vic’s wheelchair is incapacitated by a floor mop judiciously placed through the wheel spokes of his chair.  Vic has a back story as a successful sperm donor because of his double first from Trinity College, Cambridge.

The narrative is nicely set up with the differing themes coming together.  All is played on Alice Carroll’s pristine set with post industrial, silver ventilation ducting hoses, stainless steel tables, cabinets of records and a computer work station.  Director Matthew Parker keeps our attention so we can enjoy writer Lloyd Evans’ creative humour.  Under the fresh comedy are serious points about the ethics of the pharmaceutical industry but don’t miss this clever satire from the Lumbago Theatre Company.
