Synopsis

Charlie Conrad is a celebrity.

His talent?

He hasn't got one; the nation took him to their hearts for very publicly being unable to do anything competently.

One fateful day, however, Charlie meets Marsha, and his marriage and career go into freefall...

Drowning on Dry Land examines the current obsession with celebrity for its own sake and chillingly but hilariously demonstrates how celebrities can be destroyed as quickly as they are made.
