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?
