Jack Flea's Birthday Celebration
''Jack Flea's Birthday Celebration'' is a television play written by Ian McEwan and directed by Mike Newell, part of the ''Second City Firsts'' series recorded by the BBC at Pebble Mill and broadcast on 10 April 1976. McEwan wrote the play in 1974, just after completing his first book, ''First Love, Last Rites'', a collection of short stories and he regards it as belonging to that collection.〔Ian McEwan ''The Imitation Game: Three Plays for Television'', London: Picador, 1982 ISBN 0-330-26830-9〕
== Plot ==
David lives with Ruth, a woman nearly twice his age. It is his birthday and he invites his parents to dinner to meet Ruth for the first time. After much wine has been drunk, David pretends to read a chapter from his autobiographical novel, in which the 'stifling, sinister attractions' of his mother drive the protagonist, Jack Flea into the arms of Hermione, an older woman who turns David into her fantasy child. When Mrs. Lee grabs the piece of paper from David it is blank. Ruth and David then act up the fantasy of being mother and child; Ruth and Mrs. Lee vying for possession of David. But is this just drunken fantasy?〔Sebastian Groes (ed.) ''Ian McEwan: Contemporary Critical Perspectives'', London: Bloomsbury Academic, 2013, p.28〕
