Synopsis

In the future, when pills have replaced inflationary priced food, four women attend their weekly meeting to read recipes for forbidden desserts and discuss how to get impossible delicacies like one asparagus stalk. The local "pusher" arrives with a small, locked box containing a sixteen million dollar cherry tomato. As the nervous and new young member cons her out of it to the delight of the older girls, every possible present day situation is satirized and the laughs come one after another in this fast paced play perfect for Women's Clubs.
