Behind the stage lights and word-perfect soliloquies, sinister secrets are lurking in the wings. The mysteries in this collection reveal the dark side to theatre and performing arts: a world of backstage dealings, where unscrupulous actors risk everything to land a starring role, costumed figures lead to mistaken identities, and on-stage deaths begin to look a little too convincing...

This expertly curated thespian anthology features 14 stories from giants of the classic crime genre such as Dorothy L. Sayers, Julian Symons and Ngaio Marsh, as well as firm favourites from the British Library Crime Classics series: Anthony Wynne, Christianna Brand, Bernard J. Farmer and many more. Mysteries abound when a player's fate hangs on a single performance, and opening night may very well be their last.

A real collection of hits and misses in this collection, I didn't pausing to rate each story individually so decided to round it off at 3 stars overall.
I'm not sure I'll be listening right through this one again, but I was pleased to discovered new, to me, short stories from Ngaio Marsh, Dorothy Sayers, and, Christiana Brand this listen through.
