Sinopsis

Welcome to Chicago theater—where the egos are huge, the budgets are tiny, and everything that can go wrong, does.

In this “rollicking ride through the underbelly of the acting world” (Midwest Book Review) director Dwayne Finnegan is just one brilliant production away from Broadway. His plan? A radical reimaging of Shakespeare’s least-favorite play with bold choreography, Jimi Hendrix guitars, and the hottest cast in the city of Chicago.

But when the show’s producer cuts out with the cash, Dwayne decides to produce it himself. Putting his marriage, his career, and his sanity on the line, Dwayne oversees a cascade of backstage disasters and hilariously bad decisions.

Give My Regards to Nowhere is a sharp, funny, and heartfelt novel about ambition, creativity, and the beautiful chaos of making live theatre.

Perfect for fans of:

  • Backstage comedies and satire
  • Smart, character-driven humor
  • Chicago-set fiction
  • Authors like Carl Hiaasen and Christopher Moore
  • TV and movies like Slings and Arrows, Mozart in the Jungle, and Waiting for Guffman

“absurd comic hi-jinx”
– Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

“lively, fun, and welcoming…a pleasure to read”
–The BookLife Prize

“a delightful satirical journey through the trials and tribulations of producing a play…hilarious”
–Chicago OnStage
