Ah, life in the theatre. The glamour and the gossip. Backstage, on stage, in dressing rooms and casting couches. This is a collection of legendary tales of the world behind the footlights. The jokes, myths, mishaps, scandals, perks, pitfalls, the tat and glamour, the highs and the lows - and that's before you get on stage. Simon Williams has lovingly garnered these bits and bobs from years of sitting in stage-door pubs after closing time and in theatrical digs up and down the country. The stories range from Noel Coward to Zsa Zsa Gabor, from weekly rep in Wiggan to Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. Interspersed with the best of backstage musical numbers such as Don't Put Your Daughter on the Stage Mrs Worthington, There's No Business Like Show Business, We Open in Venice and many more. All that you wanted to know about show business but were afraid to ask. A delicious evening's entertainment! By arrangement with United Agents.
