Having served an apprenticeship as an Aircraft Fitter, Alan Harrison was introduced to the world of Amateur Dramatics by a girlfriend. In a remarkably honest account, he describes in detail the highs and lows of a hobby that he managed to successfully balance along with a busy work-life. In a self-effacing style he owns up to his many mistakes, such as the disastrous Festival entry, a rogue smoke machine and corpsing in the middle of a performance. Equally, he describes the many successes he managed to achieve during his fifty-year involvement. They included sell out performances of his plays and pantomimes, working briefly in television and finally winning a Festival with his own play. Although the book reflects attitudes and the language of the time it should readily appeal to anyone with an interest in the performing arts.
