It's a bit of a shock finding Laurence Fox in a box under your bed. I knew I'd seen him in this because I remember liking it. One of the things that people say about him now he's a racist fascist is that he was a shit actor but I don't remember him being shit in this, but that isn't meant to sound like defending him. I seem to remember the set had a lot of wood on it and a statement chair. Perhaps he played a writer and it was the equivalent of Noel Coward's Present Laughter or perhaps I'm just making that all up.
