When Don Stevens is asked at short notice to stage a pre-season
summer show at the Golden Sands Theatre, Great Yarmouth in 1969 he
pulls together variety acts he has worked with before, with one
exception - the leading lady, June Ashby. Making up the company are
'Man of Magic' Mystic Brian, comedian Ted Ricer, the Jenny Benjamin
Dancers, the Maurice Beeney Orchestra and fresh from Opportunity
Knocks, the Dean Sisters, a mind-blowing balancing act. Lots of
interest is aroused by the return of June Ashby to the stage. The
locals are intrigued about why a West End leading lady should play
an end-of-the-pier show after being absent from the theatre for
five years. Will this be a new beginning for the once-loved star,
or will her world come tumbling down - ? Has Don Stevens bitten off
more than he can chew by going "twice nightly"? Will Maud Bennett
at the box office ever finish her knitting? What secret is cleaner
Lilly Brockett hiding? And will Freda and Muriel ever agree on what
to give their paying guests? Intrigue, mystery and comedy abound;
this is a story that will appeal to all those who love variety
entertainment and have experienced a holiday in a British seaside
resort.
