### About *Habeas Corpus*
Alan Bennett’s *Habeas Corpus* showcases the antics of the Wicksteed home which are a darkly satirical merry-go-round. The play follows family and friends on their quest for sexual pleasures of the body aka corpus, which are the ruling passions in this farcical comedy of ill-manners. Through an escapade of mistaken identities and carnal encounters, one motto holds fast: “He whose lust lasts, lasts longest.”
