Item description from seller

Paperback. Norman is a low ranking jobbing actor frustrated with the tedium and idocy of walk-on and 'extr' work on TV. and film sets. A disorganized person, he dreams of organizing his own touring theatre company. Leaning heavily on his singer wife, Debbie, he audtions a motley buch of wannabes and finds the basis of a talented and individualstic group, calling them The Cosmopolitans. The company engage in a round of optimistic, joyous and frustrating series of small time gigs in cheerless church halls, community centres and weird venues before securing a mini tour. Despite dodgy agents, iffy theatre managers, crummy difs, idiosyncratic artists and a bemusing variety of engaging, charismatic and eccentric personalities, the couple pull the company through to pantomime production and finally a number one tour of a musical. But the attendant administrative, financieal and personal worries leave Norman reeling. His marriage to Debbie falters through his and her dalliance with cast members. Fulfilment may not come, but will the show go on? 199 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.) Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
