At the center of this contemporary comedy of errors is Hrry Antlers, a stage and film director whose gross appetites are normally sated by gargantuan amounts of food and an endless procession of willing women. But all that changes when hungry Harry falls in love with winsome Viola Windrush, who detests him. Consumed by his obsessive passion, Harry convinces himself that Viola loves him too - she just doesn't know it yet. Above all, he decides, he must have her. There follows a wild and hilarious pursuit as Harry is driven to frenzied desperation and WANTING is breathlessly propelled to its exciting, love-crazed climax.
