Description
The story of two sisters, their lives and loves, their ups, downs and sibling rivalry, from the author of The Oversight.An earthquake strikes at the heart of London, its epicentre a theatre where a lavish production of The Tempest has just opened. Thus the scene is set for Will Eaves gloriously deft tragicomedy of our time. Nothing To Be Afraid Of is both a lament for hope abandoned and innocence betrayed, and an exquisite comic pageant of Shakespearean vitality and compassion: an incidental theatrical history, across the twentieth century, of the art of pretence; of patience, trust and loyalty; of folly in youth and unforgivable old age.
