 Guardian Unlimited Books | By genre | The non-joiner
The author was Alan Bennett, who would also appear in both plays and direct the other one, and it was clear that the central scene he had written between Blunt and the Queen - quite apart from any element of lèse-majesté - was going to create a sensation.
Once the play had opened and transferred to the West End, we were gratifyingly successful, celebrities beating a nightly path to the stage door, but Alan couldn't bear any of it, and would escape, unnoticed, to his bike and home to supper by the television.
And yet as Blunt he was quite brilliant, and astonishingly consistent, provoking the same roars of laughter night after night.

But there is also a deep sense of alienation in his work, critics say, and an undercurrent of dissatisfaction and disappointment in the way life works -- and his merciless critical eye is often focused on those who live lives of ignorance.
When he reads his poems out loud to an audience, the words have an ironic tone, as if to blunt the harder edges of his undercurrent of scorn.
And critics have applauded the body of Dugan’s work for the writer’s belief in the honor and sanity at the core of the human experience.

 Nihilism [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
By the end of the century, existential despair as a response to nihilism gave way to an attitude of indifference, often associated with antifoundationalism.
In The Dark Side: Thoughts on the Futility of Life (1994), Alan Pratt demonstrates that existential nihilism, in one form or another, has been a part of the Western intellectual tradition from the beginning.
The Skeptic Empedocles' observation that "the life of mortals is so mean a thing as to be virtually un-life," for instance, embodies the same kind of extreme pessimism associated with existential nihilism.
