Synopsis

"Dr. Hyde, a successful psychiatrist, just wants go have a quiet, peaceful weekend at his country estate, where he can commune with nature and relax. No such luck. In burst an assortment of crazed or just plain eccentric characters, from his neurotic patient Dorothy Putney, to his daughter Caroline who is dropping out of her seventh college and who has stopped by for moral support and money, to Caroline's mother (and Hyde's ex-wife) Jennifer, a master of facetious wise-cracks and particularly adept at draining Dr. Bob of alimony money. When Dorothy's husband Norman, who thinks his wife is having an affair with Hyde, shows up with a gun, this wildly-paced farce really hits its stride, and things build and build to an hilarious climax".
