Maggiori informazioni sul libro

This novel is set in the golden decade before the Great War, when the music halls were the people's entertainment, before radio, television or cinema and bigger than all of them. The biggest draw of the day was entrepreneur Fred Karno, whose colossal comedy companies toured the country bringing laughter, slapstick, excitement and, above all, spectacle to the music hall stage. Arthur Dandoe is a young comedian trying to make his way up the hierarchy of the Fred Karno company. Along the way he develops a bitter professional and romantic rivalry with another ruthlessly ambitious performer; a young man destined to become the most celebrated on the planet - Charlie Chaplin.
