Description:
"Freddie's" is the familiar name of the Temple Stage School, which supplies London's West End theaters with child actors for everything Shakespeare to musicals to the Christmas pantomime. Its proprietress, Freddie Wentworth, is a formidable woman of unknown age and murky background who brings anyone she encounters under her spell -- so common an occurrence that it is known as "being Freddied." At her school, we meet dour Pierce, a teacher hopelessly smitten with enchanting Hannah; Jonathan, a child actor of great promise, and his slick rival Mattie; and Joey Blatt, who has wicked plans to rescue Freddie's from insolvency. At Freddies' is for those of us who sometimes pretend to be what we are not -- that is to say, act a little.
