RELUCTANT ROGUE, THE

by Patrick, John

A very funny and fast-moving play centring on an amorous young college professor who specialises in seducing the prettier of his female students until he finds himself trapped in a tangled web of false promises. Reed Dolan would seem to be living in the best of all possible worlds. He is young, attractive and a professor of drama at a small college teeming with eager students anxious for good grades. Reed’s speciality is inviting his better-looking students to his apartment to discuss their term papers, after which, if all goes well, the next step is a weekend at his hideaway on nearby Lake Hocapocapoo. The problem is that his amorous exploits are too successful, as much to his consternation, not one but three lovesick students descend on him in succession one afternoon. The stage is set for a hilarious comedy.
