Every Summer season, Frinton Summer Theatre stages weekly rep with seven plays performed back to back in the Essex seaside town.
To celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2014, Richard Wilson agreed to perform in a new play by Jon Canter - The Dog - preceded by two weeks rehearsal.
Follow his progress from first day through to the last night - from rehearsing in the local scout hut and line runs in a beach hut, to the Friends of Frinton Summer garden party and the ever popular performance raffle.
And meet some of the key people who make Frinton's rep season happen every year, plus Sir Antony Sher who owes his Equity card and first ever professional job to Frinton.
With many thanks to The Friends of Frinton Theatre.
Producer: Clive Brill
A Brill production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in December 2014.
