Now we get ovations for standing.    The last place in which that great lady of the theatre Elspeth Quest wishes to spend her final years is Dustingford Hall, rest-home for retired actors and entertainers.\r\n\r\n Yet failing health and worse investments have led her to become a charity case here.  She blanches at the sight of various actors and actresses, in various degrees of physical and mental decline, with whom she has worked over the years but never really wished to see again. (Not to mention tap-dancers, ventriloquists, impressionists, contortionists!) Telling them all she is only here until her town house in Kensington has completed major structural improvements, she wonders how she is ever going to survive.\r\n\r\n Or, more importantly, explain her permanent stay.    But all these performers, who once lived purely for the present are now talking only of the past. As though simply waiting to die.\r\n\r\n When she observes the residents jeering en masse at a TV talent show, Elspeth sees her opportunity. She tells them to stop living in the past - they still have their talents - they should put on one tremendous final show for family, friends and trustees. And for themselves.\r\n\r\n It's Christmas, for heaven's sake. (And of course she will produce, direct and star!) But will it truly give them all a new lease of life - or will they die trying?Praise for Their Exits and Their Entrances:\"Funny and touching - brilliantly distinctive characters.\" David Lister, The Independent.   \"A feel-good novel of considerable substance that will be loved by fans of The Thursday Murder Club.\" Petra Fried, BAFTA-winning producer.\r\n\r\n The Misfits.
