  Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the West End…
  West End Producer, the masked man of Theatreland and author of the definitive guide to acting*, returns with the ultimate guide to the theatregoing experience – for anyone who's ever been to the theatre, or who thinks they might like to try it one day.
  As the godfather of theatre producers, with an enviable track-record in uncovering new talent (via his competitions Search for a Twitter Star and Search for a Twitter Composer) and a regular column in The Stage newspaper, WEP is a cult figure in London's theatre scene, frequently attending press nights with his Jean Valjean teddy by his side.
  Now he's ready to share his industry secrets once again, this time coming to the aid of audience members everywhere as they embark on the most perilous quest of all: going to the theatre.
  Packed with insider know-how and naughty anecdotes, this book will tell you how to make your West End adventure as smooth as Craig Revel Horwood's nose, including tips and advice on:
  What shows to see and what to avoid (how to see the hits and not the shits)
  Where to sit (without developing ongoing neck problems and deep vein thrombosis)
  How to combat theatre rage (and get to the ladies' loos before anyone else)
  What to eat (crisps, sweets, or kebabs?)
  What to wear (from the correct attire at press night, to the importance of a good, reliable codpiece at The Globe)
  And, crucially, how to leave early if the show is rubbish (a 'Shrubbish')
  It will even help you save a bit of money as well.**
  Also included are many of WEP's most wickedly astute tweets, potted histories of some the greatest West End shows, and handy instructions on how to become one of West End Producer's 'Theatre Prefects' – protecting theatres from phone users, snorers, and persistent latecomers.
  So, put on your nicest frock, grab your tickets, and don't be late. This book will begin in five minutes. I repeat: five minutes, dear.

  War Child - A Child Soldier's Story

  In the mid-1980s, Emmanuel Jal was a seven year old Sudanese boy, living in a small village with his parents, aunts, uncles, and siblings. But as Sudan's civil war moved closer—with the Islamic government seizing tribal lands for water, oil, and other resources—Jal's family moved again and again, seeking peace. Then, on one terrible day, Jal was separated from his mother, and later learned she had been killed; his father Simon rose to become a powerful commander in the Christian Sudanese Liberation Army, fighting for the freedom of Sudan. Soon, Jal was conscripted into that army—one of 10,000 child soldiers—and fought through two separate civil wars over nearly a decade. But, remarkably, Jal survived, and his life began to change when he was adopted by a British aid worker. He began the journey that would lead him to change his name and to music: recording and releasing his own album, which produced the number one hip-hop single in Kenya, and from there went on to perform with Moby, Bono, Peter Gabriel, and other international music stars.  
  Shocking, inspiring, and finally hopeful, War Child is a memoir by a unique young man, who is determined to tell his story and in so doing bring peace to his homeland.A Macmillan Audio production.
