There are much richer dramatic experiences, though, elsewhere in the programme, and particularly in the two site-specific shows commissioned for the Festival. Johnny Vegas’s remarkable solo show Interiors – co-scripted with Stewart Lee – is performed in an empty two-bedroomed semi in Old Trafford, with Vegas giving a superbly-judged performance as Jeffrey, the owner desperately trying to sell us what was once his marital home.
The show emerges as a tragic, funny, and often searing one-hour commentary on the bleak and desperate emotional emptiness that lies behind Britain’s TV makeover culture.
