Background Artiste: A Play

Mary decides to spice up her life and join Alfredo Leache's Background Artistes Agency. But spending just a short time in the office Mary learns that being a walk-on artiste is&ngrave;t all glamour. She faces the eccentric, elderley couple Walter and Enid, who pepper their speech with malapropisms, but later reveal their true surprising identity; secretary Jessica, who ceaselessly acts out her ambition to be an air hostess; and Alfred, the tireless boss who works hard for his actors against the odds. Full of playful and lively repartee, this humorous play can performed by itself or in a double bill with its sequel ON LOCATION.
