For Love or Money

For Love or Money is a play written by F. Hugh Herbert. It is a comedy with three acts, six scenes, one setting, and nine characters. The action of the play spans eight days in December 1946. The story concerns a widowed stage star who must choose between a young stranger and an old love, and must also contend with a young rival. The title comes from advice offered in the play, that a woman might give herself to a man for love or money, but should never do so out of compassion.
