1926. Running a theatre may appear to be all about the showbiz, but times are hard at The Empire. Following a turbulent period Jack Treadwell, erstwhile proprietor, his mother Lillian, and his playwright wife Grace, know they need to get things back on track - and how better than with the annual pantomime, a new venture, and an all-singing all-dancing talent contest, showcasing the best performers around.

Most of us would recognise a star leader by their charisma, emotional intelligence and public communication prowess.

There are countless books about the great rock/pop icon of the 20th century David Bowie. But there's only one written by the woman who met him aged just 19, married him, had a child with him, and helped shape his image and the early stages of his career. In one of the great rock 'n' roll exposés, Angela Mary Hartnett Bowie gives a riveting account of her years with Bowie and his progress from aspiring young singer to international rock stardom.

One person knows David Bowie better than he knows himself--ex-wife Angela Bowie.

Having outlasted the gag order that was part of their divorce settlement agreement, Angela produced this candid, scandalous, and uncompromising memoir. In Backstage Passes she recounts the jet-setting, hard-partying world they shared.
