The details

In the play, Barney Cashman, an overworked and overweight middle-aged man, tries to join in the sexual excitement of the era by arranging three separate seductions in his mother's apartment. His first attempt is with Elaine, a foul-mouthed neurotic woman, followed by Bobbi, a kooky 20-something actress, and finally Jeanette, a gloomy and depressed housewife who happens to be married to Barney's best friend. Each of Barney's failed seduction attempts leads to hilarious results as he discovers he may not actually be the "Last of the Red Hot Lovers" after all.

• The play is being presented by OnSatage Atlanta from March 22, 2026 onwards.
