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 BBC Archive. Childhood, ruined ambition, work, family and death are their slightly warped conversational currencies.
