Theatre of the Absurd. What was most absurd was that I listened all the way to the end. Too much for my simple and untroubled psyche to attempt empathy or understanding with this playwright's twisted and murky one. Notwithstanding the mis-listed detective played by the brilliant Bill Nighy.

@@Thinkingbbc @Thinkingbbc Admittedly by the end of the play I was terribly confused. But I'm sure in the last 20 seconds the BBC announcer credited a different set of actors......going back to listen again. And let me take this opportunity to thank you for your continued efforts and dedication to this treasure-chest of a channel.
