SYNOPSIS: This hilarious story features a theatre group trying to put on a play in spite of 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. The audience is treated to a madcap climax and a thoroughly hilarious romp.
