- Synopsis
- Low-budget student feature film. A comedy that centres around a group of enterprising students who strive to achieve their dream of acting on the big stage despite the odds being stacked heavily against them. They decide to stage Macbeth at Crewe’s Lyceum Theatre and employ a blind man to direct them - a once top director who hasn’t directed since his injury. The group is up against a professional London theatre company who are in Crewe to perform Hamlet on the theatre’s main stage.
