Follow the on- and off-stage antics of a touring company stumbling through the final rehearsal of Nothing On, a typical sex farce, as it runs headlong into its disastrous opening night. Saddled with a demanding leading lady, vain leading man, ditzy ingĂ©nue and a drunken has-been, it’s a wonder the director can get anything done, if not for his tireless stage manager. But the real show is going on backstage—where every exit from the stage is an entrance into a comedy of errors, and every slamming door has everyone one step closer to becoming unhinged!
