    • Fred and Dora are two bickering spouses who happen to meet the charming Major O’Golly on holiday. He indicates that he’s looking for a place to rest for a few days… just while he’s searching for a permanent place to live in London. They oblige. A few days turn into a week.

A Case for Eviction chronicles the couple’s increasingly desperate machinations to throw out this parasitic tenant, before the landlord comes knocking…
