When redundancy comes for Ewan it's not too bad. It's the company he built up himself that he's leaving, and, having left his wife at almost the same time, he finds himself with a lot of money and a lot of time. He buys a flat in Dalston and settles down to watch a lot of television. His next door neighbour helps him to smoke a lot of dope, and his best friend Russell helps him to meet a lot of women.
For Richard redundancy is a different story, and something that he can’t see coming as he trundles into work each day at his dreary construction-business trade magazine. He dotes on his baby son and his (sometimes less than adoring) wife.
What can link these two strangely compulsive – and compelling – characters as they take their individual journeys through modern manhood – and modern London?
THE THIRD PARTY is both wonderfully funny and deeply moving, a brilliantly observed comedy of manners for our times.
