Book Review By Ivy
Tempest-Tost by Robertson Davies

Amateur theatricals - a phrase to strike fear into every heart. Tempest-Tost is about an amateur production of The Tempest and all the personal struggles, romances, scandals, and fights that go on behind the scenes of this type of play. By turns humorous and sympathetic, Davies shows us that he knows his stuff, even in this, his first book.
