Short Summary
Art Jensen, struggling writer, is having an existential crisis and it's only Monday; he doesn't know if he is Dickens or a dickhead. He wants his play produced in the West End but he can't get a break so he spends his days on the sofa watching daytime TV and taking mood elevators. His agent, Dickie Diamond, calls wanting news on a new project while Art wants to know if his previous work has sold. Sally, his long-suffering girlfriend, turns up asking him awkward questions he can't answer, like; when is he going to grow up and get a real job? A lively discussion ensues involving the callous binning of a soft toy and an abortive attempt at seduction before Sally finally gives up and leaves Art to a life of Jack Daniel's consumption and loneliness, but with integrity.
