| − | The play is a study of the comic genius Spike Milligan in the final year of ''The Goon Show'', with Milligan planning his escape from a mental institution dressed in only his pajamas so he can write “The Goon Show to end all Goon Shows.” After applying to the British Museum to get his marbles back, he starts to lose his grip on reality and threatens to kill Eccles, the most famous Goon character.
