Introduction

Ben Butley's world is falling apart. A university lecturer, he turns to drink as a succession of disasters occur: first his wife leaves and then his protégé, Joey, announces that he is shacking up with a new boyfriend. Against a background of petty university politics and unease about student dissent, Butley greets his foes with a blistering torrent of repartee.
