A stage-struck lass gets more than her share of life lessons when she takes a job with an unconventional theatre troupe in post-WWII Liverpool. From the fey, sadistic director to the over-the-top leading man, our naive heroine treads (and stirs up) the dangerous waters of the theatre. A thoughtful dramedy from the director of "Four Weddings and a Funeral."
