Plot[]
The play charts a series of attempts by members of Bryant House School (female) and Longcombe School (male) to get together with the aim of putting their budding libidos into some sort of action, to which end they set up the eponymous Passion Flower Hotel, a sort of juvenile sexual encounter parlour in the hidden recesses of the school buildings.
Their more lurid ideas are soon dispersed amongst pubescent embarrassments and nothing actually happens before all is discovered and boys and girls - knowing each other better as friends and incipient lovers from the foolishness they've been through together - can dispense with Passion Flower Hotel.
