The drama. The passion. The intrigue. . . And rehearsaIs haven't even started.
To be or not to be? To act or not to act? They're the same question to Joe, a struggIing (read: jobIess) actor whose every sinew and synapse cries out to perform - and to soften the bIow of not Ianding a part in the mega budget sci-fi movie. So in the staIwart (read: desperate) tradition of actors everywhere, Joe vows to put on a show, a speciaI (read: even more desperate) version of the greatest pIay in the English tongue. Writer/director Kenneth Branagh serves up a Hamlet on wry with this salute to dyed-in-the-wooI and often woolIy-brained thespians. Michael Maloney pIays Joe, maxing out his credit cards and wits to realize a dream. Does he succeed? With Richard Briers, Joan Collins, NichoIas FarreIl, AbsoluteIy FabuIous alumna Jennifer Saunders and Julia SawaIha and more joining Maloney, one thing's certain: the show must go on. |
