| Everyone's ever so polite and terribly obliging at Fairview Vale. But what on earth is Mr Price doing there? And what's he getting so het up about? All anyone's trying to do is help. . . All becomes terrifyingly clear in this mysteriously funny, intriguing new play from award winning writer Paul Sellar, recently described by The Spectator as "A writer we can cherish". Opening at Edinburgh Festival in 2010, A Man Who Fell Out of Bed is part conspiracy thriller, part dystopian drama, a nightmarishly sinister vision of a world to come. | |||||
