Came here for this. Was not disappointed.

Ooh. I’ve heard of the play, but I always understood the rights-holders were notoriously protective of it and that it was difficult to obtain a copy, let alone see a performance.
(And such a lovely cover, too.)

Used copies are apparently easily available on Amazon (US). Accompanied by many, many many reviews of people complaining that they thought it was a comic book (Which, yeah, sure - I would too)

And I thought it was “Long, Dark Teatime of the Soul!” OOPS! 
Regardless, that’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever read!

This reference is what I came here for. Now all this man needs is an eccentric private investigator and a policeman carefully guarding it whilst armed with a saw.

I sure hope there’s a working bathroom on the lower floor.

(plus drywall repair costs).
UK? Probably real plaster over brick. Likely only superficial damage.

Many years ago, after purchasing an 8’ (2.5 m) sofa for $15 from Salvation Army for my brother’s first apartment, which we brought home hanging out of the back of the minivan with me sitting on the inside end so that it wouldn’t slide out into traffic, it wouldn’t fit and got wedged in the entrance way. Ten minutes with a sawzall to take one arm off was all it took to get through the turn and into the apt. No clue what they’re complaining about. Not a big deal

It looks like a new-build, so probably plasterboard over breeze blocks. Why bother paying someone to plaster a whole wall, when you can just nail up some plasterboard and skim over the joints?

Took an arm off? Seems drastic. Why not just cut the couch apart?
