Riassunto

The old saying is true...and when the bright lights of the theatre collide with the old values of a small community, the stage is quite literally set for trouble. In the poverty-stricken years after the First World War, a travelling troupe of players arrives in the small Northern village of Bishop Auckland. Understandably, tensions rise. The players are exotic, foreign, loose. They care nothing for local opinion. Or do they? Is Pippa, the heroine, searching for home? And will she find it in this old-fashioned place where times are hard and you can't run away from your problems by hitting the road again?
