It's the 80's, London, the Thatcher years.
Ambrose Palmer an aspiring actor - journeys through the circles of hell of a brutal industry. We follow him, his lovers and a small clan of novice performers as they weather the storms of the acting profession. But behind the sex and hilarity lurks the desperation of Thatcher's England.
In three parts.
Part. 1. Melissa
1982, Ambrose at a London drama school. Here we are introduced to Melissa, Ambrose's girlfriend, and the gifted Shirley, as well as a small
group of acting students whose fortunes we follow throughout.
Part. 2. Shirley
1985, Ambrose and his fellow students enter London's theatre world. Our hero stumbles from one disappointment to another, finally falling in love with the ex-student, Shirley. A relationship fraught with farcical misunderstandings, causing Ambrose to flee as the city erupts in riots.
Part. 3. Stella
1990, Ambrose returns to London a successful actor chasing a new woman. While pursuing this misguided romance he learns the fate of the lovers/performers he left behind.
