Play description
Hirst is an alcoholic upper-class litterateur who lives in a grand house with Foster and Briggs, respectively his purported amanuensis and manservant (or apparent bodyguard), who may be lovers. Spooner, a “failed, down-at-heel poet” whom Hirst has “picked up in a Hampstead pub” and invited home for a drink, becomes Hirst’s house guest for the night. Through a contest of at least partly fantastic reminiscences, Spooner appears to have known Hirst at university and to have shared male and female acquaintances and relationships.
