Synopsis

"A theatre group is trying desperately to put on a play in spite of maddening interference from a haughty author who keeps revising the script.

Act I is a rehearsal of the dreadful show, Act II is the near disastrous dress rehearsal, and the final act is the actual performance, in which anything that can go wrong, does."--Publisher.
