AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'One room. Three men. This is the last time. They are so close to the end. They just need to keep it together for one more hour. Will they make it? Drug-addled Guy (Samuel Johnson) is "celebrating" his birthday. He is in a dark, needy headspace and desperate to connect to life and participate in it. Jules (Jay Bowen) is the suave charmer, a leopard in an expensive shirt. He's got the girl and is living life to the max. But Jules wants more. Enter Bob (Justin Rosnaik). With a hysterically unique brand of wisdom, Bob surveys life and contemplates relationships through the lens of a sex-maniac.' Source: www.fortyfivedownstairs.com/ (Sighted 28/01/2010).
