Seemingly reserved widower, Guy Jones, joins an amateur theatre company where he rises from a small side character to the main lead through unintentional schemes and affairs.
The lines between performance and reality become blurred as Guy navigates ambition, rivalries, and self-belonging in both the play they are performing (John Gay’s The Beggers Opera) and his new relationships.
“Symmetrically shaped, psychologically acute and painfully, heart breakingly funny.”
— The Guardian
Written by Alan Ayckbourn
