The story concerns a ragtag theater company trying to rehearse and perform a production of a fictional play called “Nothing On.” Nothing is on with this bumbling bunch of thespians as they fumble over cues, lines, and each other during their final dress rehearsal and two “public” performances. All of the familiar backstage and onstage stereotypes are on hand – the experienced yet forgetful television actress Dotty Otley, the easily angered actor Garry Lejeune, the self-conscious actor Frederick Fellowes, the hapless director Lloyd Dallas, the emotional assistant stage manager Poppy Norton-Taylor – and a few other stereotypes are thrown into the mix for extra spice: the elderly drunk Selsdon Mowbray, the ditzy blonde Brooke Ashton; the sickeningly cheerful peacemaker Belinda Blair and the overwhelmed stage manager/handyman Tim Allgood. All of these personalities collide to create a wonderfully entertaining send-up of theatre and life.
