Often viewed as semi‑autobiographical, the film tracks a few days in the life of actor Garry Essendine as he readies for a touring commitment. Farcical interruptions make him fend off admirers, placate secretary Monica Reed, avoid estranged wife Liz, confront a young playwright, and face his looming fortieth birthday and a mid‑life crisis.
