At the seedy Valentine Theatre has-beens and wannabes mingle with stars under the spotlights … actors claw their way to the top … ghosts, humor, and murder
In this cozy mystery, punctuated with dark humor and provocative satire, Veronica Kennicott meets murder, ghosts, and friends in a small theatre production. At the Valentine Theatre, has-beens and wannabes mingle with stars under the spotlights where sex is currency and murder lurks in the wings. The raw, real underbelly of the acting world is a contrary world where the smaller the stakes the more vicious the competition. With the studio system in Hollywood replaced by the small theatre training ground, the "play's the thing" as actors claw their way from the seedy Valentine Theatre to the big screen. With opening night looming and careers at stake, the multiple rich characters stop at nothing to win their fifteen minutes of fame.
