Shamwell Tales

De: JL Merrow

Narrado por: Mark Steadman

All the world's a stage...but life doesn't come with a script.

Posh boy Tristan Goldsmith has one last summer of freedom before he joins the family firm in New York - no more farting around on stage, as his father puts it. But the classically trained actor can't resist when the Shamwell Amateur Dramatics Society begs him to take a leading role in their production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. As an added incentive, he'll be giving private acting lessons to a gorgeous local handyman who's been curiously resistant to Tristan's advances.

As a late-diagnosed dyslexic still struggling with literacy, Con Izzard's never dared to act before. With arrogant yet charming Tristan helping him with his lines, he finally has his chance to shine. But Con's determined not to start a romance with a man he's convinced only wants a casual fling.

Tristan's never been one to back down from a challenge, especially when he realizes his attraction to the tall, muscular handyman isn't just physical. Just as he thinks he's finally won Con's heart - and given his own in return - disaster strikes with a slip of the tongue that shatters Con's trust and sends him running for cover. This show may be over before the curtains even opened.

Tristan is in Shamwell for one last summer then he has to join his dad’s firm in New York. He would rather be acting so he jumps at the chance to join the New troupe. Teaching Con his lines is a bonus. This story is funny, sweet and has some twists
