Anthony Bate plays Harry, a writer suffering from a years-long writers' block. At times we see his muse, who seems more elusive than helpful. Or is that just my view? Can it be she's taunting him? Possibly many writers externalize their inspiration this way. Or is he finally slipping into the madness of breakdown?
As his mental state deteriorates his agent and sister become vaguely sinister figures, while the external world seems oddly alien.
Can find no trace of a DVD release for this and it seems possible it's another of the items lost in the BBC turn-out of some years back, when so many pieces of archived film and tape were trashed... to create storage space, or that's what I've heard. I've placed my own recording online and the link appears at the foot of this post.
