Michael Frayn's classic comedy of the backstage hilarities and hijinx for a dreadful farce called "Nothing On" played in three acts; the night before opening, a month into the tour, and near the end of the run. Replete with the flavor of English theatre, it features a dotty old actress slowly losing her grip on reality, a nubile yoga devotee with contact problems, an ineffectual character actor, a stammering leading man, a frustrated motherly character actress, a harried carpenter/understudy, a harried, badgered stage manager...and Selsdon Mowbray all come together and apart under the jaundiced eye of their philandering director.
