Robi Briggs, a writer with money problems, founds a 'school of love'. The aim is to teach: 'You must please the person who is to fall in love with you ... (and) the prerequisite ... is ... that you please yourself'. So the man knows, even about the woman ('She hides her charms, hints at them and plays with male sensuality like a yo-yo'), has taste, no spontaneity, and he can talk; he is, so to speak, a representative in matters of love. Business is booming, but then a misfortune befalls him: he finds his Juliet, or rather she finds him. The 'laws of love' are directed against the master himself. It is to be feared that in future he will 'chirp' (male, of course) and 'lay his heart at her feet'.
A cheerfully ironic and fast-paced radio play about a touching man.
