The gifted filmmaker, corduroy activist and amateur dentist, Richard Ayoade,
first chanced upon a copy of The Two-Hander Trilogy by Harauld Hughes in a
second-hand bookshop. At first startled by his uncanny resemblance to the
author's photo, he opened the volume and was electrified. Terse, aggressive, and
elliptical, what was true of Ayoade was also true of Hughes's writing, which
encompassed stage, screen, and some of the shortest poems ever published. Ayoade
embarked on a documentary, The Unfinished Harauld Hughes, to understand the
unfathomable collapse of Hughes's final film O Bedlam! O Bedlam!, taking us deep
inside the most furious British writer since the Boer War. This is the story of
the story of that quest.
