Angelica's Grotto is a pornographic website into which
seventy-two-year-old art historian Harold Klein wanders one evening.
Klein, a walking catalogue of infirmities, known to medical
consultants as 'he who declines to hop the twig', may not be up to
much physically but there's a lot of sex going on in his head. 'You're
a tiger from the neck up, Professor,' says Melissa, the brains behind
the website, when at last Klein faces the object of his desire. Harold
first visits Angelica's Grotto after losing his 'inner voice', that
censoring mechanism that keeps us from blurting out the first thing
that pops into our heads and finding ourselves in Casualty as a result
of it. Harold consults a therapist about this new lack of mental
privacy and also has one-to-one onscreen dialogue in the Grotto. 'If I
had an inner voice I wouldn't be telling you all this,' he explains to
the as-yet-unmet Melissa. But when the flesh-and-blood Melissa and her
large and well-hung colleague Leslie enter his life he finds it's good
to keep the angina medicine at the ready. Harold Klein's odyssey takes
him not only through erogenous zones but into various corners of the
London art world, down the underground and up the buses.
