Set in an asylum for the unsound of mind.
Presented as a double bill with 'Retreat' by the same author.
Stanley's mind is inhabited by a fantasist(The Director) and he is struggling and failing to keep a grip on reality. Gradually the fantasist succeeds in crushing Stanley but in doing so has unwittingly destroyed his only means of communication with the real world.
