Nigel Burke, aspiring playwright, is neurotic and agraphobic and hasn't written a word for three months. His wife Mary, is nearing the end of her tether, his agent, Turner, is desperate for him to start writing again, and novelist-turned-playwright Julia Phillips is pestering him for an opinion on her play, as well as showing more than a professional interest in him. As if this isn't bad enough, Nigel is visited by the mysterious Potter, who knows of Nigel's interest in Byron and gives him a goblet used by the poet. Drinking from the goblet brings about subtle changes in Nigel's confidence and manner - and then out of nowhere, Byron himself appears! Part ghost story, part thriller, part battle-of-the-sexes comedy, this is a play from the author of "Natural Causes".
