At first startled by his uncanny resemblance to the authors photo, he opened the volume and was electrified. Terse, aggressive, and elliptical, what was true of Ayoade was also true of Hughess writing, which encompassed stage, screen, and some of the shortest poems ever published.Ayoade embarked on a documentary, The Unfinished Harauld Hughes, to understand the unfathomable collapse of Hughess final film O Bedlam! O Bedlam!, taking us deep inside the most furious British writer since the Boer War.This is the story of the story of that quest. Author Biography RICHARD AYOADE is a writer and director.
