Gloria Grayson is 85 and due to make her West End comeback after 20 years in the wilderness.
The play is a peach - could have been written for her. A new, young director who has great ideas is in place. Rehearsals have been hard but satisfying and now they are in the theatre - Dressing Room 1 again.
Previews - she almost got a standing ovation. Have to work on that. Then, suddenly, closure. Pandemic. Bereft. Loss. Too much time to reflect on her life. What has she achieved? Will the theatre open again? Will she ever get that opening night?
