Synopsis

David French's sophisticated backstage comedy, opens on the night of a preview of a new play, "The Care and Treatment of Roses". Within minutes, the audience is plunged into the world of the theatre, a world of instant loves and hates, easily bruised egos, contradictory interpretations of role and script-all complicated by crises involving faulty props, lost lines, and bad reviews, and all magnified by the opening night "jitters" of cast, crew, writer and director.
