Osborne's portrait of a family on the brink of total breakdown. Set in English coastal resort during the 1950s. Archie Fry, a music-hall comedian, tries to escape life's misery through petty schemes and drinking, while his wife whiles away hours at the cinema.
The play uses the metaphor of the dying music hall tradition, specifically fictional music hall star Archie Rice, to comment on the moribund state of the British Empire in the 1950s.
