In a tatty provincial theatre, a new play called "Fecund" is being staged. This uproarious adult comedy introduces everyone involved in a series of hilarious scenes linked by a chorus of usherettes. The stage manager has a blinding hangover, the leading actors range from pretentious to bitter to plainly incompetent, the new marketing assistant used to work for British Rail, the author is lecherous and unscrupulous and the others are just as outrageous. The second act centers on the audience, an equally mixed and unharmonious group. Chaos erupts just as the theatre's major sponsor arrives.

Funny, satirical and technically inventive, Bums on Seats is a treat for theater fans from start to finish.
