Description

A satirical comedy about audiences takes place in the stalls of a West End theatre. The cast includes an usherette and audience members who are also characters in the play, watching themselves and their fellow audience members with great interest. The playwright is at his wit's end as he tries to get his audience to perform for him, but they're too busy being themselves. Michael Frayn's metatheatrical comedy holds a mirror up to the audience, revealing their own foibles and quirks. This amusing play is a witty commentary on the nature of performance and audience participation.
