An hilarious farce which canvasses a tiny slice of the same issues as Caledonian Road - the excesses of the wealthy, celebrity and vanity among academics. Frayn administers retribution in a not dissimilar fashion exposing the all-too-human flaws and foibles of his players, with humour and without the introspection and judgement that O'Hagan brings to his tale.
