Seduced (1979), a play in two acts by American playwright Sam Shephard. Henry Hackamore, reputed to be the richest man in the world, is now a bearded, aged recluse, who lives on the top floor of a Caribbean luxury hotel, attended by his bodyguard-nurse, Raul. Paranoid, desperately lonely and obsessed by a fear of germs, he is kept alive by drugs and infusions of blood from other geniuses. Aware that his life is ebbing away, and determined to have one last fling, he flies in two women whom he had known, and loved, in the past.

Produced in South Africa by the Baxter Theatre in 1982, directed by Maralin Vanrenen. The cast: Henry Goodman, Sean Taylor, Jacqui Singer, Fiona Ramsay, Richard Benjamin. (Source: Barrow, Brian & Williams-Short, Yvonne (eds.). 1988. Theatre Alive! The Baxter Story 1977-1987).
