Herbal Remedies

Synopsis:
Herbal Remedies is essentially an archetypal dialogue between two male tramps, although in this case it is interupted by the arrival of a woman, or maybe a godess or female 'Godot', in the shape of a comely drunk called Clarissa, previously sound asleep on a nearby bench.
- Joyce McMillan, Scotsman
