Summary
When the wife of Warren Thouless, recently retired teacher and long-retired actor, leaves him to go on a spiritual quest to India, he lets Tessa, a former student, talk him into buying a deconsecrated church to turn it into a… theatre. Alone in a basement room, trying to understand his life, he delivers a long comic monologue to an audience of one. But gradually, his life changes - he begins to revive his acting career, and the gods - and astonishing possibilities - hover. Some descriptions of sex and some strong language. 2007.
