Synopsis

A group of enterprising students strive to achieve their dream of acting on the big stage despite all the odds being stacked heavily against them. The inexperienced group decide to stage Macbeth at Crewe’s Lyceum Theatre and employ a once top director, who is now completely blind. Up against a professional London theatre company, in Crewe to perform Hamlet on the theatre’s main stage, the youngster’s production proves to be a comedy of errors.
