The play, by British scribe Philip Ridley, is more interested in exploring the ins and outs of the characters’ skewed psyches, notably as depicted in the clash that comes when Presley sends Haley into a drug-induced sleep and admits an outsider into their home...

The early '60s had the cuddly Beatles and the roguish Rolling Stones; the '70s and '80s had the romantic Police and the revolutionary Clash; the '90s had jocular Oasis and snide Blur. Since Radiohead, the band infamously given to brooding, has emerged as the most prominent British rock export of the early '00s, the rise of a cute alternative has seemed almost inevitable...
