The action of the play takes place in a large seaside town where Archie Rice is playing in a second-rate Music Hall.  His pathetic, bickering family is unwillingly having to face the consequences of the Government’s decision to take their Armed Forces into Egypt in an attempt to overthrow President Nasser’s nationalization of the Suez Canal in 1956.
