Personally this play came at a bad time as I’ve just seen David Halliwell’s
Little Malcolm… which also features a man who loves to rant, and whose ostensible political proclivities don’t quite match the rhetoric he loves to spout, and it’s hard to feel that we need another play to tell us that disenchanted masculinity can lead to deluded monomania with tragic consequences, even when it is dressed up in Odd Couple humour as it is here.
