Korsakoff's Psychosis A comedy by GEOFFREY PARKINSON with Margot Boyd as Auntie
Mabel John Rye as Dr Fowler Michael Harbeur as Frank Cocker and Steve Hodson as Gregory Blow
When Auntie Mabel decides to leave her not inconsiderable fortune to Dr Fowler's Clinic for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Korsakoff's Psychosis, Frank and Gregory, who had hoped to be her beneficiaries, are curious to find out what Korsakoff's Psychosis is. The dictionary, they discover, defines it as ' a mental disorder, often producing a proneness to exaggerated boasting and deception'. Auntie Mabel considers that her late husband died of this condition.
