About this show

A rehearsal spirals out of control as a group of actors attempt to stage a play within a play within a play. As complications multiply, the cast begin to forget who they are playing, what the real play is and even who the real director is. What begins as a simple rehearsal soon unravels into confusion and theatrical mishaps. As reality and performance blur, the actors struggle to regain control before everything collapses. A fast-paced comedy revealing the chaos behind the scenes of theatre, packed with absurd misunderstandings and escalating onstage comedic disaster.
