How to hurt yourself at the dentist
Everyone craves a place where their mind and body are not applied to a particular task. Late at night, in the dark and in a bunk bed, your tired mind can wander.
This is the nearest faraway place for Patrick Marber and Peter Curran. Here they endeavour to get the heart of things in an entertainingly vague and indirect way. This is not the place for typical male banter. From under the bed clothes they play each other snippets of music and the voices of famous dead people from 大象传媒 Archive. Childhood, ruined ambition, work, family and death are their slightly warped conversational currencies.
