This book covers the domestic crisis in the lives of a Canadian family whose chief breadwinner is in the theater and has a very promising career. The crisis occurs when this actor, up for the part of Barone in "Love's Labor's Lost," begins to think the producer will take it away from him. How he secures the part leads to the crisis and its aftermath.This book is very strong when dealing with the theatrical: stage direction, design, politics. It's weak when attempting to show realistic motivation in female characters. BTW, the two sex objects in this story are both male.
