Play :: Based on two actual prop men, Chuck Farrago and Bobby Murrell, who worked at Shepperton Film Studios during the halcyon days of the British film industry, Props follows their last hours at the studio - their second home for a quarter of a century - as they reminisce about the past and discuss their uncertain future. Chuck and Bobby worked together on hundreds of films, achieving an almost legendary status, and a degree of affection not usually afforded to a couple of props men. The two were inseparable, and in spite of the marked difference in their appearance, temperament and, it would seem, sexual orientation, their relationship was devoted and enduring. This is the story of that special relationship set against the closure of the studios and sell-off to a property development company.
