Date de diffusion: Nov 09, 2015

Actor Richard Wilson follows the fortunes of the tiny Essex theatre that's launched some of the biggest stars of British stage and screen. Run in the village hall at Frinton-on-Sea in Essex, the Summer Theatre is the country's oldest weekly repertory company and has helped start the careers of a host of stars, including Antony Sher and Lynda Bellingham. But it needs to change if it's to survive. This year, the theatre has a new producer who is risking his own money on a mission to modernise this time-honoured institution. Can he succeed?
