Also the title of a 1965 television
play by
Tom Stoppard. It was made to go with a
documentary about
chess players and somehow illustrate it, but he admits that it doesn't really. It's the story of a man who checks into a private
hospital because he wants
privacy, and wants to be looked after. He has plenty of money, and makes no demands, but he is not ill. They try to
dissuade him, and he is very
amiable about it, but he can't see why he can't book an unoccupied room and be treated like any other
patient.
Reluctantly they allow him in. Maggie, one of the nurses, becomes friendly with him, but is still trying to find out something of Brown's past, his family, or his reasons for coming. And the psychiatrist can't find anything wrong with someone who wants clean laundry, regular meals, and no worries.
