The Man Who Fell Out of Bed

by Paul Sellar

Overview

Everyone's ever so polite and terribly obliging at Fairview Vale. But what on earth is Mr Price doing there? And what is he getting so het up about? All anyone s trying to do is help... All becomes terrifyingly clear in this mysteriously funny, intriguing new play from award winning writer Paul Sellar, recently described by The Spectator as "A writer we can cherish". The Man Who Fell Out of Bed is part conspiracy thriller, part dystopian drama and a nightmarishly sinister vision of a world to come.
