    About this audiobook

    A parade of unforgettable characters emerge from the steam in this hilarious, supernatural bathhouse. There is Tandy, fresh from teaching art appreciation at the Police Academy; Meredith, whose last memory is buying a micro-miniskirt; Biberman, a karate silver-belt who masquerades as a paraplegic; and the mysterious Puerto Rican janitor given to omniscient musings and manipulating the fate of all mankind.

    An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring Jason Alexander, Edward Asner, Gerrit Graham, Mary Gross, Kevin Gudahl, Arthur Hanket, Paul Mercier and Ruben Sierra.

      Madcap play from 1971. People find themselves in a steambath. Are they dead? is it a waiting room for Hell? Is the Puerto Rican Attendant really God? There are gay men and a lot of randy talk about sex. Apparently when it aired on TV it changed (or challenged?) the standards for what one could say on TV at the time. I laughed out loud when one character claimed for his generation that they had produced Norman Podhoretz.
