The Understudy is a scintillating comedy of ambition, celebrity, jealousy and love from the author of the smash hit One Day.

For Josh Harper, being in show business means money, fame, a beautiful wife and a lead role on the London stage. For Stephen C McQueen it means a disastrous career playing passers-by and dead people. Stephen’s stuck with an unfortunate name, a hopeless agent, a daughter he barely knows and a job as an understudy to Josh Harper, officially the 12th sexiest man in the world. And when Stephen falls in love with Josh’s clever, funny wife Nora, things get even more difficult. But might there yet be a way for Stephen to get his big break….©2005 David Nicolls Contemporary Fiction Genre Fiction Kurgu Komik Esprili Samimi

Great funny Story

I mostly enjoyed this light-hearted and at times farcical account of the understudy's gaucheness and lack of confidence leading to embarrassing scenes. The story follows a trail of disasters and missed opportunities. I felt some of the humour was laboured with scenes milked too long for laughs.
The narrator is excellent as usual

Enjoyable exploits of an aspiring actor
