Here We Are (Relié)

It is Brighton, 1959, and the theatre at the end of the pier is having its best summer season in years. Ronnie, a brilliant young magician, and Evie, his dazzling assistant, are top of the bill, drawing bigger audiences each night. Meanwhile, Jack—Jack Robinson, as in 'before you can say'—is everyone's favourite compère, a born entertainer, holding the whole show together. As the summer progresses, the off-stage drama between the three begins to overshadow their theatrical success, and events unfold that will have lasting consequences for them all.
Rich, comic, alive and subtly devastating, Here We Are is a masterly piece of literary magicianship that pulls back the curtain on the human condition.
