Drama Games

Rachael Nightingale is a workaholic theatrical dresser in the middle of a failing marriage to an alcoholic. Hugh Davidson is the passionate, middle-aged British stage star internationally renowned for his incredible Shakespearean heroes. When the two of them form a professional partnership, it isn't long before things begin to heat up between them, and the magic of the theater threatens to break both of their hearts in more ways than one. Their attempts to turn a backstage tryst into a long-term love affair lead both of them to wonder: Was it only a showmance, or is it the real thing?

Renowned, middle-aged British stage star Hugh Davidson has had a rough couple of years, first falling desperately in love with a young American stage manager and then discovering that he has coronary heart disease. When he gets tapped to be the new Artistic Director at his favorite American theater company, he decides to make a new name for himself in the business, partly to soothe his injured ego and partly to convince Rachael Nightingale, his workaholic paramour, that she wants to spend the rest of her life with him. The problem is, Hugh doesn't really knows what he's doing.
