This play, first produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company in December 2008, is Carr's answer to King Lear. Two composers meet in a cheerless room and argue. They are the bitterest of rivals; they are also father and daughter. The old man, his life coming to a close, declares: Men should not have daughters. In the a torrent of confessions, accusations, contritions and blame, the garrulous protagonists compete, if not for the grail of reconciliation, for the consolation of understanding.
