Win a signed copy of ISHBM

February 23, 2009

The delivery man knocked my door today – and for once, found me wearing some clothes, rather than my pyjamas. He also brought my author delivery of It Should Have Been Me which is published on March 5th.

The main character, Carrie, is a talented amateur actress and the novel features a key scene at the wonderful Minack Theatre in Cornwall.

If you’d like to win a signed copy of ISHBM before the release date, just post a message here or via the contact form and tell me what play/show – or which actor or even band – you’d like to see performing on that stage.

Closing date is 9am Thursday Feb 26th so I have time to pick a winner and post out your book before the release date.

Carrie sees a performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream but personally, I envisage Decent Exposure brought to life by a cast of costume drama actors…

   I would love to see A Midsummer Night’s Dream or really any Shakespeare play there. The setting looks really beautiful!

   Thanks for the opportunity to try to win a copy!

   Melissa – AMND is the play I chose for the novel. Anything would indeed be lovely – I saw a proms show in the daytime.

   I’d like to see Richard Armitage re-enacting his part of Macduff in Macbeth.

   Ooooh, what a perfect venue for The Tempest! I’d play Miranda (although I don’t mind admitting I’m a bit long in the tooth to play a fifteen year old). Prospero would be played by Patrick Stewart, Caliban would be played by Timothy Spall and Gerald Butler would sweep me off my feet as Ferdinand. Not that I’ve given this any thought, you understand…

   Failing that, I would give a kidney to see Muse play that theatre. I’d probably faint with excitement, in fact!

   Wow, what a truly beautiful location. It doesn’t look real!!!

   I wouldn’t mind seeing Clive Owen perform anything he liked on that stage, with me as his sole audience (or if he really insisted I’d join him on stage… the things I do for, um, research purposes!!)

   I think we’re going to have to hire the theatre for a Command Performance. Chrisina – when my ed read the scene, she said she had to Google the theatre just to see if such a place really existed. Now she wants to go there too. 🙂

    What a gorgeous theatre. Very inspiring. I’d love to perform there with one of my own plays – and I’d definitely, definitely love to see David Tennant do Hamlet as I couldn’t get a ticket for love nor money when he did it with the RSC. Except, I’d have the whole theate to myself. And maybe Mr Tennant would perhaps have lost the top half of his costume… ah, we can but dream!

    You could do a minimalist version of Phantom of the Opera there…

    Thanks for the great ideas. I wonder if Liz’s might be ironic. Coldplay on a chilly night at the Minack?

    Charlotte – fancy going again this year?
