Brighton, UK
Director: David Gilmore (Jeremy Sams, original)
Design: Robert Jones

Jonathan Coy, whose voice is heard from the back of the auditorium, from where he makes his entrance, plays an increasingly frustrated director trying desperately to whip his actors into shape on the final dress rehearsal before the opening night of a tour of Nothing On.
Laura Matthews as his leading lady is holding up rehearsal as everybody looks for her contact lens, lost while prancing about the stage in black tights, suspenders and a bustier. Meanwhile, Maggie Steed as the fraught housekeeper is having trouble with a plate of sardines, whether to take them or leave them, and Colin Baker as a delightfully bungling burglar has a problem hearing his cues.
