Synopsis

Ham (his mother was a fan of Noah) is a resting actor, currently working in Afghan exile Mr Khan's corner shop. His latest project is a TV script based on an autobiographical turning point. In the late seventies, Newcastle's Kicking Theatre company ran a play by its resident playwright, Cuff. Then, one night, at a party to celebrate what may the company's final production, a stranger crashes the party. The memory haunts him still and when his new friend Mr Khan is attacked by hooligans it seems like the wheel of fortune has turned against Ham one more time.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

ambitious, delicious, heartfelt Grave comedy, tender tragedy and modern history play all in one, the scope of this fine book is anything but small. Her characters might dream of London, but her sharp-edged focus on their time and place lights up a whole era. Mixing first-hand experience with a wise unsentimental humour, not to mention some dazzling writerly tricks, Small Scale Tour is a tremendous performance. --Philip Gross

'Ross's novel is a tragi-comic tour de force, expressive, exuberant and poignantly reflective: I found it compulsively readable.' --Stevie Davies 'The writing is humorous and perceptive and uses an imaginative device of inserting sections of invented theatre text into the narrative... The book powerfully evokes that strange, irresistible, infuriating, creative, insecure and often sexually charged world in which a group of young people live hand-in-glove as they trundle their play round one night stands.' --The Journal

'humorous and perceptive... powerfully evokes that strange, irresistible, infuriating, creative, insecure and often sexually charged world in which a group of young people live hand-in-glove...' --- Peter Mortimer (The Journal)

'a corner-shop walk-on character steals the show in this keen observational comedy about artists fighting for the spotlight' --- Penny Simpson (New Welsh Review)
