THE REHEARSAL KEY
Stanley, a naïve first year drama student meets Isolde and begins a sweet, first love affair. Goaded by Hannah, the charismatic Head of Acting, Stanley uncovers a talent and ambition he didn't know he had. When his group hits on a sex scandal involving Isolde’s tennis prodigy sister, as fertile material for their end-of-year show, Stanley finds himself profoundly torn.
