In the last week before World War II, a small concert party, working the end of a pier show somewhere in England, is rehearsing for the final week of the season. There is talk of impending war, while visible proof that war is expected, sandbags, gun installations, etc. - is all around. The uncertainties of the period are mirrored in the uncertainties of the company's future. We meet the various members rehearsing their acts on stage as well as their more private moments in between.
