The Art Hotel

af Brown
Bag om The Art Hotel

J Constantine loses his leg in a freak ballet accident and with the compensation he builds a hotel and staffs it with his out-of-work performer mates. They have no idea what they're doing but it's a job so they're doing it anyway. Ballerinas as cleaners, opera singers masquerading as waiters, an eighty-piece orchestra tending the gardens and throw in a French magician, J's band of misfits are doing their best with what they've got - raw talent. When a plane carrying the a-list cast and crew of a new production crashes into a mountain, J realises his team has a chance of performing again. The producer of the show however, has other ideas, her cast were global stars not a bunch of out work actors. Can J win her over with his crazy idea? If he does, can the hotel keep running while the staff are in the theatre? Will J cope with not being able to dance? Who's coming to the rescue? Will this all come together?This book is a study in mayhem and magic, of learning on the run and finding a reason for getting up each morning. It's about friendships and love, it's about hospitality, taking care of each other and building a community around a common theme. It is also about performance and the love for theatre and everything that entails.
