Terence Lovell, Chris Crediton & John Chapman
Roland, a hard drinking tycoon, is considering buying an old Victorian house, once a brothel. His solicitor and the vendor, a builder, arrive to complete the deal. Also in the house are his wife, a frustrated dancer who is always considering leaving him, her tediously boring brother and later the brother's fiancee, who is uncertain whether or not to run away. In the course of one hectic night and morning, with continual running up and downstairs and in and out of rooms, these characters each immersed in their own personal problems try to sort themselves out. All this takes place in a highly ingenious and original setting in which all the rooms, passages and stairs are on a single level. |
