Synopsis:

Following the death of his wife, Guy Jones (Jeremy Irons) is moved by his company to a sleepy seaside town, where, faced with knowing no-one and nights of boredom in front of the TV, he decides to join the local amateur dramatics society. He is enthusiastically welcomed by eccentric Welsh Director, Dafydd (Anthony Hopkins), but it is not long before Guy realizes that the action on stage is nothing compared with the jealousy, suspicion and seduction that carries on when rehearsals are finished! Written by acclaimed playwright Alan Ayckbourn, A Chorus Of Disapproval is a star-studded and nostalgically comic look at British Provincial life that evokes warm memories of eating fish and chips by the sea in the never-ending drizzle. A perfect heart-warming tale with some fantastic performances that is guaranteed to leave you chuckling long after the curtain has come down.

After being posted by his firm to the quiet, British seaside resort of Scarborough, a timid widower, Guy Jones, joins the local production of 'A Beggar's Opera' in an attempt to 'meet people and have fun.' As a result of his thespian pursuits, Guy becomes involved in the real-life drama of the small town, hopelessly entangling himself in a series of love triangles, real estate scams and endless gossip. The plot is brought to a ripe conclusion by Dafydd Ap Llewellyn, the cantankerous, tyrannical director of the play, who is eventually upstaged by the very actors he manipulates on stage.

A man new to a smallish British town joins an amateur theatre company. Once there, he discovers that the drama on stage is quite often nothing compared to what's happening behind the scenes: seduction, romance, faction fighting, and the inevitable jealosy.
