AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'It is about a fictitious character called Joe Bleakley, a failed actor, newly arrived at the Foggadieu Retirement Village, who decides to entertain the inmates with wonderful speeches from characters of stage and screen, of roles he's never played. And wishes he had. He wishes he had said these wonderful words at some stage or other. He does not always stick to his script however; he wanders off into wonderful show-biz anecdotes, gags and songs. And also into personal issues he has with a daughter. There are things he also wishes he could say to her, to repair, to heal.' Source: http://www.szeps.com/ (Sighted 24/02/2012).
