Alex is a playwright suffering from writer’s block and harsh reviews. His best friend, Roy, is a theatre director with lung cancer and six months left to live. In pursuit of fresh air and great wine, they go on a road trip to the Okanagan Valley, where Roy rediscovers his passion for theatre. But when he decides to stage a production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at a winery, disaster ensues: the woman cast in the lead is the winery owner’s wife and has no talent; wildfires encroach upon the surrounding forest; and Roy slips closer to death, one cigarette at a time. Curtains for Roy is a hilarious and poignant peek into the world of theatre, where the greatest drama is offstage and the best performances take place behind the curtain.
Curtains for Roy Reviews
-
I loved this book. It was funny. It was heartbreaking. I was moved. If you’ve ever been involved in a theatre production you will enjoy this book. Great characters and a plot that should be turned into a movie. This book was an enjoyable read that clipped along.

As a Vancouver native living in the Okanagan I found this book by accident. I found it very easy reading, astute and humorous. Enjoyed this very much.
