Synopsis

John Shank is an actor, talent-scout and trainer of boy players in the seedy, glamorous backstage world of 1630s London theatre. Women are still not allowed on stage, their roles taken by precocious boys. Shank was one of the best, but is now reduced to teaching others the tricks of the trade.
