‘A novelist who has a gift for conveying the charm of the ordinary’ Irish Independent on Number One bestselling author Roisin Meaney
As opening night nears for a local amateur production, the cast begin to realise that the real drama is taking place off-stage — and in life there’s no such thing as a dress rehearsal …
When Edward Bull agreed to direct the amateur production of Death by Dying, he thought it would take his mind off his wife’s recent affair. He was soon to discover, however, that all the real drama was taking place off-stage …
Maria, trapped in a loveless marriage to an older man, makes an appalling discovery. If pushed, she knows she will do whatever it takes to protect her vulnerable son, Pat. But will she find the strength to do the one thing that would save them both?
Her sister Ellen, scarred after a tragic motorbike accident, seeks comfort where she can find it. Will she finally come to terms with what happened . . . and, perhaps, open her heart to love again?
Handsome, charming Robert glides through life. When Caroline threatens to take his sons away from him, however, he realises that everything he ever wanted was right under his nose. But is it too late?
As the weeks pass, the cast members of Death by Dying are brought together and their lives intertwine. And, as opening night draws near, they learn that in life there’s no such thing as a dress rehearsal.
