Clever intent and comic movementUndeniably funny in partsDialogue is overly complexNot as good as previous works
Synopsis
In this reputable English comedy in the grand tradition, a repertory company is holding the second rehearsal for next week's play and things are proceeding in customary confusion.
The star is in a hassle with her husband, who also plays the part of her husband in the play within a play.
The author, of course, shows up to offer his invaluable talent to the poor producer who is a pretty worried guy at this point.
He has just been fished out of the orchestra pit into which he fell after a sally with a left handed carpenter and an amateur electrician who switched off the lights.5 women, 8 men
