Douglas Yandell, a young-ish music critic, is enlisted by Kitty
Vandervane to keep an eye on her roving husband - the eminent
conductor and would-be radical Sir Roy - as he embarks on yet
another affair. Roy, meanwhile, wants Douglas as an alibi for his
growing involvement with Sylvia, an unsuitably young woman who
loves nothing more than to shock and provoke. Life soon becomes
extremely complicated as Douglas finds himself caught up in a
frantic, farcical tangle of relationships, rivalry and scandal.
Girl, 20 is a merciless send-up of 1970s London's permissive
society from a master of uproarious comedy.
