Standing in the Shadows of Giants
Little Episodes Productions presents a powerful true story where a woman looks back on her youth as a struggling actress in early ‘00s London. This is a comic retelling of minimum wage jobs and auditions for laxative adverts. Unprepared for the sudden success of her younger brother Carl Barât (traditionally the weed-smoking black sheep of the family), she’s forced to face her own failures. Dodging exes, a lecherous producer and a rehab admission, she finally arrives at the realisation she’s gay.
