A collection of theatrical misfits go on tour, in this nostalgic trip back in time. Actor and manager Titus has lost a backer who was going to fund a theatrical tour
when unexpected salvation appears. Their home theatre in the East End of London having been bombed during the war, The Red Lion Touring Company embarks on a tour of Britain with a play written by their new benefactress. This charming series transports the reader to a lost post-war world of touring rep theatre and once grand people who have fallen on harder times, smoggy streets, and shared bonhomie over a steaming kettle. The mood is whimsical, wistful, nostalgic, yet with danger and farce along the way. AUTHOR: Peter Maughan’s early career covered many trades, working on building sites, in wholesale markets, on fairground rides and in a circus. He studied at the Actor’s Workshop in London, and worked as an actor before founding a fringe theatre in Barnes, London. He is married and lives in Wales.
