Davina Elliott has worked on over 80 theatre productions in a variety of jobs from dresser to PA to small time producer. She has been employed by the National the RSC on various West End productions and in theatres from Aberdeen to Southsea. This has given her the insight to write this story about a fictional company of actors. Climbing the Curtain is a sequel to Chewing the Scenery and is her second novel. _x000D_Paperback
From the best-selling author of Chewing the Scenery. Judith Gold grande dame of the British theatre has chosen her latest venture - a stage version of a classic film written to her specifications. Resolving to have complete control she informs producer Wesley Bartlett that she will select both creative team and cast. The result is a spineless director and the perfect acting ensemble including movie star Rupert Blake. Yet even Judith can&rsquot control her company&rsquos offstage lives which threaten to cause onstage chaos. How fitting therefore that a respected war correspondent is taking an unusual interest in the play &ndash and its leading lady.
