The Understudy by Julie Bennett

Sydney, 1973

It's opening night. The stage is set, the houselights have dimmed and the handsome male lead is waiting.
This is your time. Your chance to prove you are so much more than the understudy.

You have worked so hard and would have done almost anything to get here. But not what they are accusing you of -- never that. It's simply bad luck that Australia's darling of opera has gone missing, throwing the spotlight on you just as the whole world is watching history in the making.

But the show must go on and it's all down to you. Take a deep breath and get ready to perform the role of your life.

Immersed in the underbelly of the theatre world where the truth often lies hidden behind the curtain, this addictive debut will have you wondering just how dangerous ambition - and love - can be.
