An intense drama in three acts which begins in the middle of a rehearsal where a small group of actors are performing a run-through of a play written and directed by the compulsive and maladroit, Stan Mueller. His abusive and exploitative nature makes him a target of a vengeful actor determined to destroy him and his production opening night. We are taken in and out of rehearsals as the real drama unfolds in the fictional country of Ruchstand where artists have little future.
