*Writing Award Winner*Tyron Moore, is a high earning, man about town, who openly admits to loving and bedding as many woman as he possibly can. He is hoping to better himself and climb further up the social ladder, by joining the exclusive Gerards Gaming Club.  Unfortunately, in order to do this he has gone into debt to the tune of two hundred and forty thousand pounds. This is owed to Vernon Pearson, the club's 'special' entertainment secretary.  Vernon agrees to waver this debt on one condition.  Tyron will have two seduce and make love to Vernon's secretary Carol, whilst under the watchful eyes of surveillance cameras. Meaning he will be watched by most of the club members.  Reluctantly, Tyron agrees.

Arrangements have been made by Vernon, for Tyron to meet Carol at the Le Pięge De Miel wine bar the following evening.  Tyron duly turns up for the meeting, only to find to his horror that Carol is a gay man.  Now faced with the prospect of seducing a male, what follows is a hilarious game of ‘strip brag’, as the seemingly out and out heterosexual, buoyed up with whisky, attempts to get Carol's clothes off.  This action takes place stage left, on a split stage, with Vernon and friend Bunny watching and commenting, via the television, stage right.

All is not what it seems however, and just when the audience think they know which way the play is going, it changes direction and has an unusual twist in the tail, not revealed until the last page of dialogue.
