One of our brilliant publications of May includes Backstage Confidential, exploring life behind the scenes of London's West End 🎭

This autobiography relays Eden's journey working backstage in the 1960s and 1970s, meeting theatrical greats, such as Sir Noël Coward, Sir John Gielgud, Dame Judi Dench to directors Hal Prince and Harold Pinter.

What a brilliant story to tell! We think all West End lovers will love this one, and we're so delighted we got to bring this story into the world 🧡
