Sun, 16 Jun 2024 10:00:00 +0100

Hello once again and welcome to another episode of Theatrical Shenanigans as we move past the half way point. This week we have a piece entitled "The Book Tour" written by Massachusetts actor, writer and director Bruce Deveau, who was encouraged to submit to Theatrical Shenanigans by previously produced playwright Jack Rushton. ‘The Book Tour’ began as an idea about what it might be like to be a touring musician—the pitfalls, consequences, and hopefully redemption.

As in the Hawks and Capra films, their tone shifts after receiving some bad news, and they have to face their future together.
