Nymph Errant

by Steve Mackes, Michael Whaley, James Laver (Original Author)

This famous 'lost' musical, a hit in London in the thirties and later a triumph for Gertrude Lawrence and Elizabeth Welch, was recently restaged to bravos in London. Its whimsical story follows innocent Evangeline Edwards as she bids farewell to a Swiss finishing school and sets off across Europe and looking for love and adventure. She gets into one scrape after another and is rescued by a series of unsuitable men (a French producer, Russian musician, Austrian nudist, Italian count, Greek magnate, Turkish Pasha and a eunuch all played by the same actor).

About the author

Writing one thing or another—songs, lyrics, poetry, plays, screenplays, musicals, magazine articles, reviews, short stories and novels—is what I’ve been doing most of my life. Since getting out of college and landing a job in advertising, it’s been my meal ticket, leading to freelance and staff work as a copywriter, scriptwriter, speech writer, editor and creative director. I'm currently writing the 2nd book of the Augie Rhone/Intern of the Viking Gods series and editing an earlier sci-fi novel, Down to Earth, soon to be released.
