A man's life is taken up with trying to find his lost son who ran out after a row when playing scrabble, an important game in the the man's life and which he come to believe has links to his son's whereabouts.
Quirky and just a bit weird, this is a likeable, mostly light hearted tale that almost entirely relies on Bill Nighy's particular style of delivery to pull off which it just about does. It is a small, rather unique, stage like creation which is often quite funny to watch with Nighy front and centre throughout the whole piece, but with a fine supporting cast - nice to see Jenny Agutter do an atypical role for a change - and so well.
Not for everyone though.
