After receiving generally good reviews  Simon Grays Cell Mates mysteriously metamorphosed into a bad play and one from which the overworked Fry had been right to walk away. The media continued to be fascinated: the plucky understudy  the dependable Simon Ward  the angry playwright  the righteous self-justification of the critics and more and more on Stephen Fry. Yet Rik Mayall  the other star of the play  and a continuing strong presence on stage  was noticeably absent from the welter of words. Betrayal is in the air but what really happened and why?
