Learning Lines - Two Short Stories - Cathy Thomas

ROUGH TRADE EDITIONS No.58

In Learning Lines, Cathy Thomas takes the reader behind the curtain of the theatre industry, revealing its universal anxieties while at the same time detailing a dark world abundant with its own fakeries and faultlines. In two stories that explore the cracks wrought by a hyper-sexist culture as well as the slow-burn anticipation of young adulthood and the promise of fame, this is exquisitely written fiction that ultimately affirms life in the face of all its disappointments and trials.
