Sinopsis

Summer 1989Their post-show party stretched into the early hours. As the flames of their beach fire danced, the young cast and crew of a brilliant production of ShakespeareâÇÖsáA Midsummer NightâÇÖs Dreamáall hope theyâÇÖll be propelled to fame and theatrical fortune. But jealousy and betrayal simmer behind their smiles ...Summer 2019Former police officer Steph Grant is a reluctant volunteer. Stage-managing the new production of BrechtâÇÖsáMother Courageáwithin the ruins of Covehithe Church in Suffolk is not her idea of fun, not when the director is the countyâÇÖs resident drama queen, Beverly Elkin. But there is the excitement of the return of Hollywood and West End star, Jessica Marlowe, to her hometown to consider, thirty years after she made her name at the same venue.Old jealousies never dieThe production does not run smoothly. The showâÇÖs star and director canâÇÖt agree on anything. JessicaâÇÖs return stirs old memories too, sharpened when a body, hidden for thirty years, is exposed by a cliff fall. And StephâÇÖs life is also turned upside down. Her partner, DCI Philip Hale, is acting oddly. HeâÇÖs distant, irritable, and appears to be hiding something. Can Steph ensure the show goes on - both on stage and at home?
