Bennett Driscoll is a Turner Prize-nominated artist who was once a rising star. Now, his wife has left him, he hasn't sold a painting in two years, and his gallery wants to stop se lling his work. Left with a large West London home and no income, he's forced to move into his artist's studio in the garden and list his house on a popular rental site. A stranger in his own home, Bennett struggles to find purpose in his day-to-day. That all changes when three different guests unwittingly unlock the pieces of himself that have been lost to him for too long. Wry, rueful and rich in observation, SUPER HOST provides a delicious portrait of middle-age, marriage, and the underlying fears and loneliness that colour so many lives. Show more
