Better off Dead

T01620607346
Larger than life and highly irascible author Algy Waterbridge is hard at work on his 33rd crime novel featuring blunt Yorkshire cop DCI Tommy Middlebrass. But it's been a while since Tommy was on the TV, Algy's wife is getting frighteningly forgetful and his adoring PA sometimes oversteps the mark. With constant interruptions, it's almost the last straw when old acquaintance Gus Crewe turns up to interview him for the press with alarming consequences. But as Algy's fictional character takes him over and real people introduce themselves into the dramatic climax of his novel, the lines become blurred and it might just be that fiction, misunderstandings and mistaken identity are closer to the truth than they seem.
Author Alan Ayckbourn
