" The Never Never Nest " is a comic one-act play about a young couple. They make full use of the buy-now-pay-later marketing system. This comedy is very relevant today, because we can buy almost anything now on the instalment basis.

Jack and Jill were a young married couple who had a small baby. One day Anut Jane visited them. She was surprised to find that eventhough jack's salary was not very high, they lived in a beautiful house with all comforts, such as a radio, a car and a refrigerator. She began to wonder wheather, as a wedding gift she had giving them 2000 pounds instead of the 20 pounds she had wanted to give them. Otherwise how did jack and jill buy all these things? she suggested that the rent for such a house must be very high. Jack repiled that they owned the house.

Then Aunt Jane understood that though jack and jill had everything, nothing really belong to them. They bought everything they had on the instalment basis. Only a steering wheel of the car, a wheel and two cylinders had been paid for. And only one leg of the sofa that aunt jane sat on, belonged to them. The total amount to be paid towards instalments per week came to morethan seven pounds. Jack was earning only six pounds a week. Jill was a housewife. When aunt jane asked how he could pay seven pounds a week when he was earning only six pounds, jack said that they could take a loan. Aunt jane was shocked at the way jack and jill ran their family. Before she left, she gave ten pounds to jill and told them to make atleast one article completely theirs, using that money. While jack went with aunt jane to the bus stop, jill sent the money to Dr.Martin. Jack came back and said that he wanted to pay two months instalments on the car using that money. But jill said that by paying the money to Dr.Martin, their baby would become completely theirs!

The end of the play is ironical, though it is an exaggeration. The play is really a satire on the materialistic bent of the modern man.
