Description: As a young man, Robert Simon was a first-rate stage-manager in provincial rep. Now he keeps house for his West End actress wife, while amusing himself with lots of little sexual adventures. In fact, a thoroughly happy man. Until one evening, through the clumsy intervention of a psychiatrist, his happiness and his marriage are destroyed. He plans a hideous revenge, both on his wife and on the psychiatrist - a revenge which allows him to discover all his old talents. 'Stage Struck' was first presented in November 1979 at the Vaudeville Theatre.
