Publisher's Summary
It’s the 80’s, London, the Thatcher years.
Ambrose Palmer, an aspiring actor, journeys through the circles of hell of a brutal industry. We follow him, his lovers, and a small clan of novice performers as they weather the storms of the acting profession. But behind the sex and hilarity lurks the desperation of Thatcher’s England.
In three parts.
Part 1: Melissa
1982, Ambrose at a London drama school. Here we are introduced to Melissa, Ambrose’s girlfriend, and the gifted Shirley, as well as a small group of acting students whose fortunes we follow throughout.
Part 2: Shirley
1985, Ambrose and his fellow students enter London’s theatre world. Our hero stumbles from one disappointment to another, finally falling in love with the ex-student, Shirley. A relationship fraught with farcical misunderstandings, causing Ambrose to flee as the city erupts in riots.
Part 3: Stella
1990, Ambrose returns to London a successful actor chasing a new woman. While pursuing this misguided romance, he learns the fate of the lovers/performers he left behind.
