Sex Please We're Sixty

By Michael Parker & Susan Parker

Directed by Peter Kao

Mrs. Santcliffe’s Rose Cottage Bed & Breakfast is a cozy, popular weekend spot—especially among women of a certain age. Bud Davis, the Casanova next door, claims the inn is successful because those women come back year after year to enjoy his company. Uptight Mrs. Santcliffe and her gentleman caller Henry Mitchell disagree, but the weekend’s three female guests (romance writer Victoria Ambrose, clear-headed Hillary Hudson, and southern belle Charmaine Beauregard) may just prove Bud right after all.

Mistaken identities, bad backs, slammed doors, and an untested libido-enhancing drug make for one seriously silly, saucy comedy.

---Character Information---

BUD DAVIS - age 70 +; the next-door neighbor to Mrs. Stancliffes' Rose Cottage Bed & Breakfast; weak, frail looking (the frailer the better), however, over the years, he has become renowned among the female guests as "Bud the Stud;" very elderly, somewhat infirm, chauvinistic, brazen, but likeable

MRS. STANCLIFFE - age 60 +; the owner of Rose Cottage Bed & Breakfast; a severe woman both in dress and manner; pursued by her next door neighbor, Henry; sensible, practical, punctual, business like, menopausal, but finally radiant and sensuous

HENRY MITCHELL - age 60+; a retired chemist and Mrs. Stancliffe's "Gentleman Caller;" a mild mannered man who has proposed to Mrs. Stancliffe every afternoon for twenty years; has developed Venusia; eventually comes out of his shell

VICTORIA AMBROSE - age 50+; a renowned author who writes steamy romantic novels; pines for romance in her personal life, but finds none; readily joins the plot to turn "Bud the Stud" into "Bud the Dud;" pretty, serious, intelligent, menopausal

HILLARY HUDSON - age 50+; beautiful, well educated, articulate, and sophisticated in both manner and dress; old friend and co-worker of Henry's, who agrees to test the Venusia pills; elegant, charming, and menopausal

CHARMAINE BEAUREGARD - age 50+; the quintessential southern belle; definitely here at Rose Cottage for Bud and becomes the leading light in the plot to tame him; voluptuous, out-going, gushing, demonstrative, menopausal
