At the apex is the immoral Gary Essendine (Webb), whom Noel has attempted to bless with his own aphroditie charm, the eomic pace of Grouche Marx and the caustic sauciness of Woolcott. Perched giddily atop the crotic ding dong of assorted amours is a rare fruit who barely manages to sublimate his passion for Gary.
