It’s been five years since theatre practitioners Peter Figg and Nick Topp performed their worst show ever at the local Shakespeare Festival. But this year, they’re staging a comeback - with a performance of Shakespeare’s Henry V.

To pull it off, they’ve found themselves a disparate band of actors: Hermione, who’s on temporary release from juvie, Paris, a diplomat’s kid who did a little theatre in Germany once, and Tom, an exile from the rival theatre group, The Vagabonds. The goal is to win the judges’ hearts (and restore the pride and status of the Figg and Topp Theatre Co.) as winners of the ‘Best Play’ accolade.

As audience we witness not only their preparation for the task, but also their performance of the great Shakespearean work.
