The story

Spooner meets Hirst in a London pub and follows him home, where the two men continue drinking and circle around questions of friendship, literary success and a past they may or may not share. Their conversation becomes harder to trust as memory, invention and social power shift between them, particularly when Hirst's younger associates enter the house.

In the room

Elliptical dialogue, long pauses and sudden changes of authority create a comedy of menace in which stories are repeatedly revised and certainty remains out of reach.

Good fit if you like

ambiguous memories, verbal power games, confined settings and unsettling comedy.
