Last of the Red Hot Lovers
At the comedy’s core is Barney
Cashman, a middle-aged nebbish who wants to join the sexual
revolution before it’s too late. A gentle soul with no
experience in adultery, he fails in each of three seductions
- a sexpot who likes cigarettes, whiskey, and other women’s
husbands, an actress friend who he discovers is madder than
a hatter, and his wife’s best friend, a staunch moralist.
The laughs are plentiful in this play about a gentle fellow
who just cannot succeed in sinning.

directed by Robert Moore, opened in 1969 at the Eugene
