Overview

There is a pub in London's West End called Understudy, frequented by young people who love acting even though they never get any large roles. They pass the time putting on their own productions, mostly Shakespearean plays, while waiting for that one big break. The de facto lead actor is Alec Rockwood, who used to perform on Vaudeville with his family.
