The TEMPTATION of LESLIE TOMALIN

by Marcus Attwater

short story, epub

If it had to happen at all, one would have expected it during A Midsummer Night’s Dream, or possibly The Tempest. But the play The Arden Touring Company were performing on that warm summer evening just after the war was The Merry Wives of Windsor.

Leslie Tomalin (not his real name) knows all about ‘the magic of the theatre’. But when a different kind of magic happens during a performance, the stage suddenly loses its glamour. There is another kind of enchantment out there, and Leslie is determined that his first meeting with a person from the other side of the boundary will not be his last.
