| Nigel
Burke, aspiring playwright, is neurotic and agoraphobic
and hasn't written a word for three months. His wife,
Mary, is nearing the end of her tether, his agent, Turner,
is desperate for him to start writing again, and novelist-turned-playwright
Julia Phillips is pestering him for an opinion on her
play, as well as showing more than a professional
interest in him. As if all this isn't bad enough, Nigel
is visited by the mysterious Miss Potter, who knows of
Nigel's interest in Byron and gives him a goblet used by
the poet. Drinking from the goblet brings about subtle
changes in Nigel's confidence and manner - and then, out
of nowhere, Byron himself appears! Part ghost story, part
thriller, part battle-of-the-sexes comedy, Haunted is a
flippant and exciting play from the author of Natural
Causes, Rising Damp, and Only When I Laugh.
