His mother's matchmaking arrangements, however, have become increasingly intolerable for Cuthbert and as the tea progresses and the intimations and pressures are ratcheted up, Cuthbert finally reaches breaking point.

Living alone in his tiny flat, Horatio's sense of isolation is mitigated only by a near-continual dialogue with himself and by the companionship of what he affectionately describes as "my wife." Things change, however, when he encounters a sweet, impressionable young woman named Nore. As their relationship lurches unsteadily forward, Horatio finds himself struggling against a riptide of conflicting realities that he is ill-equipped to cope with until events at last overtake him and a new yet oddly familiar reality emerges. | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
| Two written parts await to be brought to life on a stage. One of them, however, is found to be mired in a crisis of self-worth due to the size and quality of their role. The larger, more developed part must then attempt to convince its smaller counterpart of just how necessary they are to the production that is soon to begin, and of the true and indisputable collaborative nature of theatre. | |||||
