Frayn has the mature humorist's horror of gags to no purpose. It is not a case of the clown wanting to play Hamlet, since Frayn was never a clown. The desire is to carry the comic vision through to its consequences, following E. M. Forster's dictum that art must be pursued to extremes.

Clive James, The Guardian, 5th October 1975
