So what has caused this boom in belly-aching? That got north of 50, complaints by itself. Those two incidents alone accounted for more than half the complaints. At one point during our video interview, the connection stalls.
Cursed by comedic genius, I ask if I can make a complaint about my broadband service through him. In practice, this is exactly as large a job as it sounds, involving a mammoth amount of data capture and analysis. He looked the trampy part and shared his love for a good drink or five with his accidental and troubled pub buddy, Hirst performed by Michael Gambon , suggesting Spooner was quite content in an intoxicated nirvana which seemed to be the only place to go for failed poets, or just failed old men.
But the whole premise seemed obscure, exhausting and convoluted. There were way too many anecdotes to keep up with, not helped by the limited action of the characters on the set. The various trips down memory lane that Hirst and Spooner take could have been helped with a bit more visual variety.
Dunning's mug was convincingly mean, but I just didn't buy it with Walliams. Act 2 was a lot better. The champagne breakfast scene between Briggs and Spooner was quick-witted. Add to that the moment Hirst realises he doesn't know who Spooner is after a lengthy discussion about the sexual conquests of their youth — the comic timing was just superb. But I doubt newcomers to Pinter will be instantly taken with this writer's knack for one-liners, empty spaces and incomprehensible dialogue.
It's highbrow all right, but a touch overwhelming, too. I went to see 'No Man's Land' pushing to the back of my mind the hours spent considering Pinter at school. I encouraged myself with the thought that I usually enjoy trips to the theatre. I'd also never previously seen Michael Gambon on stage, which was also a draw.
The first half was a forlorn affair. I found it difficult to empathise with the characters: Spooner is a professional drunk masquerading as a poet, Foster and Briggs are both aggressive, freeloading homosexuals, while Hirst is a forgetful, whisky-sodden intellect looking for sympathy. This is not to say that the cast is not good, since — perhaps with the exception of Walliams' overstated menace — it is. But, to me, the dialogue often sounded clumsy and detracted from any overall narrative.
Part of the amusement of any play is to examine the set, which in this case did contain a number of interesting items. The well-stocked bar is attended at regular intervals by the cast. This was supplemented by curios that might have been on loan from the British Museum: an ivory drinking horn, gleaming Moorish helmet, and an interesting ochre-coloured lamp in the form of the Buddha.
In the second half, Hirst's room is bathed in light and the mood is, for a time, more upbeat. There is a champagne breakfast and some genuinely amusing banter as he and Hirst reminisce about Oxford, Dijon, and women that they have known.
But this does not last for long, and a wintry aspect soon overshadows the remainder of the play, with the dialogue freezing once more into a fog of non sequiturs. I make all use of it, for I use it only. Who comes here? I just came from a great feast where Leonato is entertaining the Prince, your brother. I can give you information about an intended marriage. Will it serve for any model to build mischief on? What is he.
Will this give me an opportunity to make some mischief? Who is this fool who wants all the fuss of marriage?
