Somebody and Nobody is a revenge comedy about betrayal in a meaningless universe. A send up of existentialism and the Theatre of the Absurd of Pinter, Beckett and Ionesco, the action takes place in a cartoon bedsit. Here Somebody - the most important person ever, and his sidekick Nobody, a nonentity with twelve mothers, twelve fathers and a hatred of imaginary asparagus soup - act out the savagery and pointlessness of the world beyond the bedsit door. When a blank piece of paper enters the lives of the two men, their relationship cosmically and comically implodes.
