About this product

Product Information

The classic story of seven children with a longing to be on stage: the inspiration for actors from Maggie Smith to Eileen Atkins In the town of Fenchester, seven resourceful children are yearning to be famous. One day, they come across a disused chapel, and an idea is formed. With a lick of paint and the addition of a beautiful curtain (which, however much they try, won't 'swish' as stage curtains ought), the chapel becomes a theatre - and The Blue Door Theatre Company is formed. The children go from strength to strength, writing, directing and acting in their own plays. But their schooldays are numbered, and their parents want them to pack it in and train for sensible jobs. It seems that The Blue Door Theatre Company will have to go the way of all childhood dreams. But with a bit of luck, and the help of some influential friends, perhaps this is not the end, but only the beginning of their adventures in show business... Written in 1941 when the author was just 14, The Swish of the Curtain is a classic of children's literature, and has inspired generations of children to go on stage.

Reviews
'I wanted to act before I read this book, and afterwards there was no stopping me.' - Maggie Smith 'An enchanting book. A must for any child who wants to become an actor.' - Eileen Atkins 'Whether you are already entranced by the magic of theatre or have yet to come under its spell, The Swish of the Curtain is a wonderful story of the intense please of performance and the life-changing effect that putting on a play has on a group of children. Pamela Brown's classic novel celebrated childhood friendship and the transforming power of creativity; it has inspired generations of readers to love theatre too and to pursue their own performing dreams.' - Julia Eccleshare 'Part of the novel's appeal, as well as it's humour and the excitement of the group's entry into an acting competition, is Brown's pitch-perfect depictions of childhood.' - Guardian 'Pure nostalgia... Fans of Noel Streatfeild will love this.' - Red Magazine 'That's what I wanted to do.' - Victoria Wood, on the children setting up their own theatre 'I'd soon read my way along all the Browns on the shelf in the library. I particularly liked her Blue Door series.' - Jacqueline Wilson 'As a child I loved The Swish of the Curtain.' - Julia Donaldson
