Synopsis

The Scene is a provocative comedy about the pitfalls and shallowness of the entertainment industry, an industry where who you know and what party you attend is most important. The story focuses on Charlie, an out-of-work actor, his successful TV producer wife, Stella, and his friend, Lewis. When pretty and ambitious Clea enters the scene, she first dates Lewis and then moves on to Charlie. When Clea and Charlie's heated affair eventually ends, Charlie is left broke and emotionally & spiritually adrift.
