All his novels are terrific'' Sarah Waters\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e''If you were looking to fly from Dickens to Martin Amis with just one overnight stop, then Hamilton is your man'' Nick Hornby\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatrick Hamilton''s novels were the inspiration for Matthew Bourne''s new dance theatre production, \u003ci\u003eThe Midnight Bell\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Midnight Bell, a pub on the Euston Road, is the pulse of this brilliant and compassionate trilogy. It is here where the barman, Bob, falls in love with Jenny, a West End prostitute who comes in off the streets for a gin and pep. Around his obsessions, and Ella the barmaid''s secret love for him, swirls the sleazy life of London in the 1930s. This is a world where people emerge from cheap lodgings in Pimlico to pour out their passions, hopes and despair in pubs and bars - a world of twenty thousand streets full of cruelty and kindness, comedy and pathos, wasted dreams and lost desires.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57319166083454,"sku":"NW9780349141473","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780349141473.jpg?v=1778693659","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/twenty-thousand-streets-under-the-sky","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
