Under the Influence

More about the book

Life on Theatre World offers both pleasures and challenges for Will Benson, primarily revolving around his attraction to Kim, the chief sub-editor. He faces the aftermath of wild Tuesday nights, difficult coworkers like the abrasive receptionist Martha and the obnoxious star reporter Colin, and the burden of critiquing pretentious avant-garde performances in unappealing venues. Adding to the chaos are ominous death threats that complicate his already tumultuous existence in the world of theatre journalism.
