The company is rehearsing Lucas's most recent play and he is passing notes to his wife throughout rehearsals. Marion has much to put up as finances are meager and they are under constant pressure from the authorities over the content of their plays. They persevere however, working and waiting for their circumstances to improve.—garykmcd
