CHAPTER IX - HOBKIN'S HOLE
Jerramy has spent three decades as the welcoming face of Norcaster’s bustling Theatre Royal, his Monday rituals a reliable anchor for traveling troupes. He knows every actor’s quirks, every landlord’s secret, and hands out the essential papers that set the week in motion. When the famously punctual impresario Bassett Oliver fails to appear for a crucial rehearsal, the theatre’s smooth cadence is thrown into disarray.
The mystery deepens when a nervous young man, Mr. Copplestone, arrives at the doorstep, clutching a card and an appointment that never seemed to exist. As Jerramy and the business manager scramble to locate the missing director, the ordinary world of backstage camaraderie hints at hidden motives and unexpected alliances. Listeners will be drawn into the lively, tightly knit world of a provincial stage, where every missed cue can reveal a story waiting to unfold.

1863–1935
A remarkably prolific English writer, he produced more than 230 books across journalism, history, poetry, and fiction, but is best remembered today for his detective stories. His mysteries helped shape the early 20th-century crime genre with brisk plotting and a strong sense of place.
