Fallout by Sadie Jones

In the charged theater world of 1970s London, a gifted young playwright leaves his provincial roots and, after a chance encounter with an ambitious producer and a brilliant designer, helps build a daring new company, while his obsessive love for a vulnerable actress—trapped under the sway of a controlling older director—pulls them all into a tangle of desire, betrayal, and ambition; as success arrives, the hidden costs of their longings and loyalties force each to reckon with what they will sacrifice for art, love, and belonging.
