‘A must-read for all lovers of the theatre, providing shocks
and gasps of horror when real life proves to be more dramatic
than any play on stage' - Hugh Bonneville

'A meticulously researched series of events ranging from the

unfortunately occurred inside the very buildings originally
intended for our pleasure.
The result is ironically highly enjoyable.’ - Sir Alan Ayckbourn
