5 men, 4 women

A theatrical farce written by Michael Frayn takes us behind-the-scenes to look at the chaotic stage production of "Nothing On". This touring group is populated with frenzied and unstable actors, a volatile director, and an overworked and overly emotional stage crew. Just hours away from the premiere nothing is going right - with forgotten lines, blocking mishaps, misplaced props and back stage drama they lose sight of why they are acting.
