| Description |
A young poet moves into a squalid rooming house run by Mr and Mrs Lusty, a bloated, gluttonous pair. When her husband dies abruptly, Mrs Lusty announces a grand funeral featuring a lavish feast, “an ‘am funeral”, in his honour.
Driven by her incontinent appetite, she attempts to seduce the young poet, with comically tragic consequences. |
