When Ratner's rival Dr Drabble hurls one of his own patients into the clinic to kidnap an inmate - his wife - a comic romp of Pythonesque proportions ensues. The Dice House is a glorious glimpse of how insane life could be if determined by the dice - and how ordinary it can be if it isn't!The Dice House at the Arts Theatre in London's West End on February 4th 2004, directed by Graeme Messer.
