Overview
Debra Oswald fell in love with theatre aged eleven. But did it love her back? How do you cope with rejection and success and then more rejection? How does a child hypochondriac, with a blundering romantic history learn to cope with the demands of writing in showbiz? Will the success of OFFSPRING change things or is the writer’s lot one huge stumble from disaster to disaster?
