Synopsis: Robert Farrar's witty, serious comedy follows the maneuvers of four gay men, gathering in a Brighton flat in hopes of an orgy, for whom, of course, nothing turns out quite as intended. The would-be artist, the won't-be osteopath, the quirky S/M couple, are given memorably detailed personalities - the artist never at a loss for crisp, Coward-like quips; the osteopath unwittingly disclosing child-like instability; the American top proving useless in a crisis. The dinky trolley-dolly is Farrar's most original creation, demanding to be submissive, mouthing seemingly vacuous political notions but emerging as the one with the decent social conscience while continuing to be, also, endearingly absurd. Farrar can switch the mood in a sentence from comic to poignant, and in the next sentence switch it back. The twists of his plot, though unforeseeable, become inevitable in retrospect so that his group portrait imparts a sense of real, felt life. An altogether admirable work.
Jeremy Kingston, theatre critic, The Times
