It is their first day at Drama Arts, and the nervous students huddled in a circle are told in no uncertain terms that here, unlike at any other drama school, they will be taught to Act. To Be. To exist in their own world on the stage. But outside is the real worlda pitiless, alluring place in which each of them in their most fervent dreams hopes to flourish and excel.Nell, insecure and dumpy, wonders if she will ever be cast as anything other than the maid. She'll never compete, she knows, with the multitude of confident, longlegged beauties thronging the profession most notably Charlie, whose effortless ascendance is nothing less than she expects. Meanwhile, Dan, ambitious and serious, has his sights fixed on the role of Hamlet, as well as on fiery, rebellious Jemma.Over the following decade, these young actors grapple with haphazard tours, illogical auditions, unobtainable agents, deluxe trailers, rocky relationships, and redcarpet premieres. This dazzling new novel from Esther Freud uncovers a world of ruthless ambition, uncertain alliances, and the manysided holy grail of Success.Praise for Summer at Gaglow (A New York Times Notable Book):'A shrewd and absorbing novel, a nearseamless meshing of family feeling, history and imagination.'New York TimesPraise for Love Falls:'Nobody else can write this well about the bravery and the sad wisdom of children. In a culture which dins with brashness and selfadvertisement, attending to Esther Freud's still, truthful voice becomes not only a pleasure but a necessity.'Jonathan Coe
