- Synopsis:
Set against a background of the approaching Second World War, 'These Foolish Things' follows the fluctuating fortunes of a young actress, Diana (Zoë Tapper / Sinead Goodall / Roisin Goodall), who by chance becomes embroiled in an emotional love triangle when she meets a struggling script-writer, Robin (David Leon) and director, Christopher (Andrew Lincoln). Together they embark on a rags-to riches quest through London but are constantly rejected by the theatrical establishment. Finally Robin's script comes to the attention of a fading matinee idol, Douglas Middleton (Mark Umbers / Mike Watts). Keen to revive his flagging career, Middleton agrees to add his "star" name to the billing and finds a wealthy backer to finance the play. The play finally opens on the London stage and Diana becomes the leading star, fulfilling all her dreams, but this is overshadowed by the threat of war which is now imminent. Soon Diana is forced to make a heart rending decision that will affect all their lives forever... - Actors:
