MIRANDA DICKINSON 'A brilliant book' LOUISE PENTLAND 'Bewitching' HEAT ****** Theatres possess a unique magic; the allure of the lights and the scent of greasepaint captivates us, but the real drama unfolds when the curtain falls. In 1952, two young lovers secretly meet at the Southern Cross theatre in London’s West End, their relationship marked by hidden encounters and the threat of a jealous figure who will punish her if he discovers she is no longer 'his'. Yet, the theatre's unpredictable nature brings tragedy and heartache. Fast forward nearly seventy years, a new production of When the Curtain Falls introduces Oscar Bright and Olive Green, who quickly find themselves in a budding romance. However, strange occurrences reveal a ghost haunting the theatre since 1952, visible only one night a year, but now appearing more frequently and intent on disrupting Oscar and Olive's relationship. They realize they must confront the past to prevent history from repeating itself. This spellbinding tale of unrequited love and revenge intertwines elements reminiscent of Moulin Rouge and Phantom of the Opera, showcasing Carrie Hope Fletcher at her romantic best—it's a breathtaking journey.
