Dave and Sapphire have worked backstage at the Old Forge for years. They’ve never felt the lure of the spotlight; they prefer the dark of the wings. When they learn that the venue is closing, they are shocked and angry. Despite dwindling audience numbers, unfunny stand-ups and chaotic staff, they love this crumbling old local theatre. With money in short supply, they offer to stage their own extraordinary dramatic adventure, full of the characters they have met and scenes they have witnessed. Might it bring back the punters, or be a further reason to turn the Old Forge into luxury flats?
