Terence is sick of people making a fuss of Alexander. His looks. His money. His fame. Who wouldn't resent so successful a son? Even if he is only ten years old. Joseph Connolly's brilliant new comedy of manners weaves together a domestic tableaux of characters - those with old-fashioned manners, tabloid manners, and no manners at all - in a satire on oedipal envy, neighbourly rivalry and the shameless stupidity of our fame-fuelled society.

Facts about Joe:
1. Joe has never met a working class person. Forced to endure a trip to Lidl in search of inspiration for his junk food menu for the proles he wore ear plugs lest their voices sully his precious ears.
2. No less than 10 editors were sacked for suggesting the book needed a plot and to be cut down somewhat.
3. Joe lives in an ivory tower made from recycled piano keys from country estates.
4. In his spare time he likes to secretly edit Heat and visit champagne shops because you can never have enough champagne.
