BREAKDOWN
BESTELLER is a funny and original new comedy about writers and how they write – the stories they tell and the secrets they keep. Three young novelists arrive at an isolated cottage where eccentric, mysterious Landlady Maureen offers a Writer’s Retreat to help them finish their new books. Shelley is creating a sexy romance set on a desert island, Damien is unleashing a bizarre and blackly comic tale of murder and mayhem, while Alex is staring at a blank page with no idea of how even to start. As the novelists settle into their new home, we see their three comical and compelling books suddenly come to life on stage.
