Last time out, the combination of director Mike Newell and actor Hugh Grant resulted in the film Four Weddings and a Funeral. Here, the story is set backstage in a Liverpool theatre company in the years following WWII. A starry-eyed teenage girl provides the focal point as her love for the theatre leads her into other grown-up situations.
