Original text
The storyline of Sell-Out! revolves around a director who, an hour before the opening of a play, is compelled to substitute the main lead who has phoned in — in a state of inebriation — to say that he has been arrested. The plot develops to a stage where the director confesses to his cast that he has been a police informer for more than a decade.
