Blurb and Dedication

Written for the Rainbow Advent Calendar event 2019.

Last Christmas, Francis had a promising acting career and a budding romance with Duncan. This Christmas, it seems he’s lost it all. When his Mum persuades him to help her with the annual village production, he’s drawn back into the wacky world of amateur pantomime. This year’s production has all kind of new twists, the village players are eccentric although enthusiastic, and Francis isn’t sure he ever saw himself as a director. And what his mother also didn’t tell him was, he’d be working with Duncan by his side.

But if he can cope with charity shop costumes, squabbling characters, cross-dressing, and all the corny jokes, can he also believe in the show’s magical triumph of Good over Bad, and win a second chance with Duncan? After all, in pantomime, everyone gets their wish granted in the end.
