Mauvaise journée pour le jeune Bosse : maltraité à l'école, il arrive en retard et, sur le chemin du retour, il ne peut s'empêcher de penser à la désagréable tante Edna qui a toujours reproché à l'orphelinat de ne pas lui avoir confié une fille ! Tante Edna se montrant, ce soir là, encore plus méchante que d'habitude, le garçon décide de s'enfuir. Le hasard lui fera découvrir un monde étrange : le royaume de nulle part ! Un royaume dont le roi... est son père. C'est ainsi qu'il deviendra le prince Mio...

Mr Wyman is an elderly man whose increasingly unreliable memory has landed him in a geriatric ward. Here he is visited by his daughters Val and Molly, and Molly's husband Harold, and looked after by the ward's two male nurses, Vic and Donald, who are in competition for a promotion. Donald needs the money as he and his girlfriend are trying to buy a house but are having difficulty arranging a mortgage. From the window at which he sits, Mr Wyman can see a wall. He repeatedly pesters Donald with questions about what is on the other side. Donald constructs a fantasy of the future he dreams of with his girlfriend: a house and garden inhabited by a married couple.

A series of plays written by Alan Bennett.
