Synopsis

A low budget venture for these first time filmmakers, BEGINNER'S LUCK is a comedy following the mishaps that befall a group of young, inexperienced actors attempting to put on a production of Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' with no finance and no contacts. Against all the odds, the inexperienced director Mark Feinman (James Callis) manages to stage the production, initially at a porn bar in Soho run by Magic Bob (Steven Berkoff), then in a Chinese restaurant in Edinburgh before moving onto Paris.
