Paperback. Condition: Good. Imagine an Agatha Christie whodunit set to a Stephen Sondheim soundtrack. Asher Kaufman doesn't have to--because he's living it. In this laugh-out-loud funny backstage tale (a sequel to All the World's a Stage Fright), our hero--a fallible local theater critic--once again finds himself in an uncomfortable role: acting in a professional stage production so he can write about the experience for his newspaper, the Cleveland Jewish Chronicle. This time, the show is the angry, bloody, and brilliant musical Sweeney Todd. And in addition to mastering the musical's famously challenging lyrics and performing its dark, enigmatic melodies, Asher finds himself in the middle of an unscripted, onstage, opening night murder. The police detective leading the investigation is a no-nonsense crime solver but a fish out of water in the world of theater, so she asks Asher to be her cultural advisor on the case. Now, he must help find out which of his quirky castmates is a killer. They all claim innocence, but as Asher knows firsthand, they could just be acting.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. When a local critic takes an acting role with a top-tier theater company in order to write about the experience, he gets more of a story than he bargained for. An irrational, overriding, mind-numbing fear. That's how Asher Kaufman describes his relationship with Shakespeare--not what you might expect from a veteran theater critic. So when Asher learns he'll be trying out for As You Like It, he realizes this assignment will be a very bumpy ride. What starts out as a stunt to increase readership for the Cleveland Jewish Chronicle becomes one man's personal battle with the Bard and ends up a laugh-out-loud tale full of twists and turns, endearing characters, and behind-the-curtain action. How will this clandestine critic overcome his lifelong fear--while sharing the stage with actors whose past performances he panned (and without getting panned himself by his fellow critics)? It's enough to give anyone opening night jitters This fictional memoir will delight theater fans who have ever wondered what might be going on backstage during a performance--or in the mind of a theater critic.…
