Description: So funny - - Nabokov meets Spinal Tap. - Stephen Merchant Brilliant brilliant brilliant. - Tim Key Absolutely miraculous. - Jesse Eisenberg A brain - swirlingly funny quest. - Robert Popper Richard Ayoade's fictional quest to rescue Harauld Hughes the almost mythical mid - century playwright from obscurity. The gifted filmmaker corduroy activist and amateur dentist Richard Ayoade first chanced upon a copy of The Two - Hander Trilogy by Harauld Hughes in a second - hand bookshop. At first startled by his uncanny resemblance to the author's photo he opened the volume and was electrified. Terse aggressive and elliptical what was true of Ayoade was also true of Hughes's writing which encompassed stage screen and some of the shortest poems ever published. Ayoade embarked on a documentary The Unfinished Harauld Hughes to understand the unfathomable collapse of Hughes's final film O Bedlam! O Bedlam! taking us deep inside the mind of the most furious British writer since the Boer War. This is the story of the story of that quest.
