The Bentley Hill Omnibus Adam G Newton

Fantasy and reality collide whenever The Bentley Hill Players put on a show...often with hilarious and dangerous consequences. Combining the first four Bentley Hill Players stories by Adam G Newton in one volume, The Bentley Hill Omnibus contains The Ghost Under The Stairs, Christmas at Butler Farm, Death of an Actor, and The Lady Dances. Jim Butler just wants to put on a play, but Owen O'Donnell enjoys a drink or two and accidentally causes problems. The ancient Lillian Lovelace is one for the booze too, and nobody is ever quite sure if she'll last until the end of rehearsals. Chris, Zoe, and Sophie have their own little love triangle going on, whilst Harry Blunt tries to keep control of all the special effects. Add in a money-hungry businessman, an exploding parrot, a ghost, gangsters, and a day trip to a theme park, and you'll soon figure out that the problems are starting to mount up. The show must go on, but will it really go on? What does the ghost want everyone in the toilet for? Will Chris make his mind up, or will Zoe and Sophie kill each other first? And how will The Players deal with a one-man protest and the council trying to shut down their latest play?In the only way they know how - best foot forward, and we'll deal with the consequences later!
