The Musical
A group of people from widely-divergent backgrounds find themselves 'on the road'
for various reasons;  they meet a ‘down on their luck’ concert party and join forces to
become 'The Good Companions'.  
The indomitable spirit of the theatre is encapsulated in the exploits of this company
of actors left stranded by their manager and pianist but determined to live up to the
maxim “The Show Must Go On!”
