Smelling a Rat by Mike Leigh
Returning home unexpectedly from holiday, Rex Weasel, owner of the Vermination Pest Control Company, hides in a wardrobe when he hears intruders. It's his employee Vic Maggot with his wife out on a spree, but they also have to hide when Weasel's gormless son turns up with his garrulous girlfriend.'Mike Leigh has a wonderful gift for conversation so rock-bottom-boring that it is hilarious'
* Observer *'His strength is his satirical observation of English tribal customs.. Like Ayckbourn, he uses farce to expose the dire consequences of emotional cruelty: the result is both consistently funny and extremely disturbing'
* Michael Billington *
