| Synopsis: | The Primrose Players have never done Shakespeare before. Now we know why. When the local theatre group receives an arts council grant, it comes with a couple of strings attached. They must do a Shakespearean production, and accept the assistance of washed up director Tony Symington. Pete, the newly deposed president of the group isnt happy about this, or the fact that he lost the election by one vote to Liz, who has only been in the community for a couple of years, and has a secret in her past. When Tony, and his trusty sidekick Pip show up, the group decides to forge ahead with the production but it soon becomes painfully apparent just how ill-prepared they are for such a venture. Meanwhile, Pete and Max, the henpecked Christian in the group manage to jump to a couple of wrong conclusions about Tony and Pip and Dane, the techno-geek and eco-freak responsible for getting the grant in the first place, continues his campaign to convert everyone to environmental friendliness. | |||||
