In het Liverpool van 1947 bereidt een theatergezelschap de productie van een reeks voorstellingen voor. De zestienjarige Stella, die bij haar oom en tante woont, voegt zich bij het gezelschap. Terwijl de regisseur de rest van de cast completeert en een aantal spelen met hen repeteert spelen er zich achter de schermen allerlei intriges af.
Nee, helaas is An Awfully Big Adventure nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
