For many 19 year olds freedom from home and their parents leads to Sex, Drugs and Rock N'Roll. For those more daring, more wild and more stupid, there is always...fringe theatre. Beginner's Luck is a film for all those reckless enough to have tried to put on a play; to remind them of the joy, the laughs and the horror. For those who have never experienced being involved in the mounting of their own production Beginner's Luck will show them exactly what they have been missing. From the seedier side of Soho to glamourous Paris by way of the Ediburgh fringe festival this unusual road movie is based on true events (the names have been changed to protect the embarrassed).
