Backstage

 

Laura Branigan stars in this Australian-made film as American pop singer Kate Lawrence, who wants to embark on a career as a dramatic actress. The only job she can find is playing the lead role in an Australian theatre production of The Green Year Passes. Hiring an American causes conflict with her Australian cast and crew, and the chagrin of renowned theatre critic Robert Landau. But when Kate confronts Robert, the animosity soon turns to admiration and then to a love relationship. But when the play closes and Kate returns to the US, will love follow?
