TIME & PLACE
Alan Sheridan

Using diaries given to him by a relative, Alan Sheridan re-creates the world of Mark Sheridan in the early part of the last century. The story follows Mark’s two years in a theatre company and his relationship with Esmond, a young actor. Interspersed with the account of this passionate but secretive relationship, are flashbacks to his earlier life: his childhood in China, his schooldays in Paris, and England. Famous names appear in these pages: Bernhardt and Dulse; Irving and Terry; Mahler and Massenet; Melba and Caruso.
