On Monday Next by Philip King
The Drossmouth Repertory Company are holding the second rehearsal of the play they are hoping to perform the following week.
The proceedings are complicated by the strong-willed producer's rows with his equally strong-willed actors, and by the stage carpenter who insists on sawing up the stage during rehearsals; by the author who also wants to direct.
Finally, the leading man and lady start to squabble furiously and there seems little chance the play will open. But these are old troupers, and the show goes on.
