Percy Pointer may work on a building site, but his passion is the theatre, and all his spare time is devoted to the play he is writing. It means everything to him: he lives in the fictional world he is creating, acting out to the full every emotion and situation that he pens. When Percy's play is finished, it arrives on the desk of Jocelyn Macauley, London's leading impresario, at a time when he is particularly anxious to stage a resounding flop and so incur an impressive tax loss. To Macauley, Oh, My Lord! is made to order...
