Self-obsessed actor Garry Essendine delights in celebrity rave reviews, the pick of roles in the West End and adoring female fans. But celebrity in the 1940’s had as many drawbacks as today; fans won’t always stay at a distance and what about the entourage whose livelihood depends on your fame? Throw an estranged wife and the predatory wife of the business manager into the mix and what emerges is an outrageous comedy that only the Master knows how to deliver. A stunning alternative to the usual Christmas fare.
