No drunken skipper, but a tired, shilly-shallying Prime Minister, Sir Arthur is discovered, when On the Rocks begins, fiddling aimlessly about the interior of No. 10 Downing Street while an angry mob howls in the streets outside. Halfway through Act I, he receives a visit from a mysterious Lady in Grey (Estelle Winwood) who whisks him away to a sanatorium...
