A company of relatively inept actors attempt to stage a tour of poorly written play, Nothing On. What could possibly go wrong? In Act 1 it’s midnight, the show opens in less than 24 hours, they’ve had less than two weeks’ rehearsal and they still haven’t finished their dress rehearsal. We are introduced to the […]
