It's Press Night for a brand-new show opening in the West End and it hasn't gone well. The actors have stumbled, the writer is in an ambulance and now the play's director and press agent are trying to limit the damage.
They set out on a misguided mission to win the favour of two reviewers attending the after show party: a hardened critic with a fierce reputation and a vlogger getting ready to live stream their review that night.
