All of a sudden, Anne is caught between the fear that this venture may ruin all her plans for the future-and the knowledge that trying to save Peter Wren may be the role of a lifetime.
Anne studied to be a speech therapist, and she lives in a little apartment in New York, actively searching for a job in a non-scary school system. She has a steady, reliable boyfriend named Jim. She also has premonitions. She secretly calls them "Pictures," and she's never been able to stop even one from coming true. Now, her dad has suggested she try out for a role in a play written by his old college friend-a play about a time-traveling, mad scientist. And the last scene is always improvised. Battling her doubts and inexperience, Anne tries out, and is stunned when she gets the part of the female lead. As production begins, Anne is pulled into the orbit of a luminous, fiendishly innocent young actor named Peter Wren, who teaches her how to fire her own imagination, and leads the show into mind-blowing popularity. But what happens when Anne begins to care deeply for Peter and the show, at the expense of her relationship with Jim? And what does she do when she begins to have Pictures of Peter's reckless drug abuse?
"The Last Scene" is unlike any of Alydia Rackham's other books-grounded and realistic, yet incandescent and hilarious. If you enjoy the drama of the theatre (both onstage and offstage), the adventure of trying completely new things, the hum of the big city, and intimate looks into the hearts of characters you love, you will adore this book.
