Twice Nightly (Paperback)

When Don Stevens is asked at short notice to stage a pre-season summer show at the Golden Sands Theatre, Great Yarmouth in 1969 he pulls together variety acts he has worked with before, with one exception - the leading lady, June Ashby. Making up the company are 'Man of Magic' Mystic Brian, comedian Ted Ricer, the Jenny Benjamin Dancers, the Maurice Beeney Orchestra and fresh from Opportunity Knocks, the Dean Sisters, a mind-blowing balancing act. Lots of interest is aroused by the return of June Ashby to the stage. The locals are intrigued about why a West End leading lady should play an end-of-the-pier show after being absent from the theatre for five years. Will this be a new beginning for the once-loved star, or will her world come tumbling down - ? Has Don Stevens bitten off more than he can chew by going "twice nightly"? Will Maud Bennett at the box office ever finish her knitting? What secret is cleaner Lilly Brockett hiding? And will Freda and Muriel ever agree on what to give their paying guests? Intrigue, mystery and comedy abound; this is a story that will appeal to all those who love variety entertainment and have experienced a holiday in a British seaside resort.
