Williamson called it a comedy about how lives are continually disrupted, “and how infidelity and boredom can become the basis of human comedy and tragedy”.[2]
"So many people screw their lives up in the most ludicrous way, and as a satirist I'm attracted to that," said Williamson. "People who have everything but convince themselves they need more."[3]
