Rupert Frazer's tale skillfully leads you into a world where gossip bumps up against melodrama and the wayward passions of his cast - a pantomime perhaps but as juicy as a Christmas pudding. Like the best fiction, it makes you wonder whether it is, in fact, fact. Matthew Kelly

'The Crimson Pantomime is an epic, irresistible journey of love and loss. Steeped in theatrical tradition Rupert Frazer brings an authentic voice to this tragic yet ultimately satisfying tale. Lindsay Kemp would have been proud. A sumptuous read. Miriam Margolyes
'Witty and tense I recognise the world he creates. And unputdownable.' When Toby auditions the ambitious Leo Duchene, he is struck by the boy's charisma and raw talent but wary of his unpredictable and self-destructive behaviour. His growing involvement draws him into a tangled history: a past filled with loss, pain, guilt and violence. A past that traps Toby and Leo in a toxic dance. Years before, beautiful Didi Duchene longs to break free from the golden cage of her pampered life but in doing so she initiates a generational tragedy: a poisonous tree rooted in the dangerous, playful and sensuous world of The Crimson Pantomime. Can playing many parts help us discover who we really are?
