About this audiobook
Jerome K. Jerome is determined to be an actor. He reads the great playwrights, practices his make-up, and rehearses on Hampstead Heath. Then he runs into the sham agents, hopeful teachers and fake managers who prey on young hopefuls in London. At last he gets a small part at a shabby theater.
This is Jerome's funny, affectionate memoir of his own brief stage career, written before Three Men in a Boat made him famous. Tony J Martin reads it in four and a half hours.
For anyone who loves the theater, even the bad parts of it.
