New York TimesSet against the decayed elegance of a house in Londons Hampstead Heath, in No Mans Land two men face each other over a drink. Do they know each other, or is each performing an elaborate character of recognition? Their ambiguityand the comedyintensify with the arrival of two younger men, the one ostensibly a manservant, the other a male secretary.
