In the Bleak Midwinter

Out of work actor Joe volunteers to help try and save his sister's local church for the community by putting on a Christmas production of Hamlet, somewhat against the advice of his agent Margaretta.

But although they all bring their own problems and foibles along, something bigger starts to emerge in the perhaps aptly named village of Hope.
