The Understudy
The Understudy is a peek-behind-the-curtain story of the theatre world. An understudy actor is called upon last-minute to replace the star of a major stage production of Shakespeare's The Tempest. He is also looking after his young granddaughter, and has no choice but to bring her to the theatre. This could be a late-life career break but he only has a few hours to get ready, the stage manager is stressed, and his granddaughter has gone missing backstage.
