Butley is about a university lecturer who shares his office and his flat with a former star pupil, Joey, now also a teacher. Butley faces both the breakdown of his marriage and of his intense friendship with Joey
Butley’s painful discoveries are made against a back ground of petty university politics and unease about student dissent. He greets them with a blistering torrent of repartee and rhetoric
