'A cracker' Patrick McCabe

'An irresistible comedy' Luke Kennard

Laura Cassidy is going all the way. Hollywood. Starry lights.

The Walk of Fame. It's her destiny. At least, that's what her movie-obsessed father used to tell her.

That was always the plan. Sure, it's been a bit slow-going, but the stars have finally aligned. The long-awaited new theatre is about to open, and their first production calls for a particularly fiery female lead.

This part has Laura's name on it. There's her meddlesome older sister to get past - freshly returned from saving the world. Her occasional lover and stand-in leading man seems to think it's all a waste of time.

And probably best not to mention the audition to her mother, especially after what happened last time . . .

Laura just has to stay one step ahead of them all. Channelling the era of Hollywood's silver screen and told in a voice that blends devil humour, quiet mayhem, and a singled-minded optimism that might just lead to disaster, Laura Cassidy's Walk of Fame tells the story of a troubled soul desperate to find her place in life.
