Hattie Breaks a Leg follows Hattie, who is down on her luck. She's collected enough enemies in high places that the only work she can find is a one-night-only vanity project being mounted by an extremely unlikely impresario. Beyond that, things are looking bleak.

However, her career concerns must be put aside when an old friend appears, in serious trouble and asking for a big favour. Hattie tries to help, but things swiftly go awry. She finds herself thrown into a cat-and-mouse game with some very shady types who pursue her across London.

In classic fashion, the chase leads all the way to (where else?) backstage in the theatre on opening night.
