Synopsis
The play tells the story of a genteel novelist, Flora Draycott, who suddenly writes a steamy bodice-ripper, Sex In The Afternoon, based on the affairs of her deceased philandering husband.
To avoid embarrassment, she adopts a nom-de-plume, Guy Thompson, but the book becomes an overnight best-seller and she faces pressure to admit her subterfuge.
Her attempts to avoid being unmasked form the basis of the comedy, and the book's success, which attracts the interest of the Inland Revenue, gives the play its name.
The action of the play takes place in the living room of a country cottage about 30miles from London
