Mister Ten Per Cent

Percy Pointer is a workman on a building site, but his passion in life is the theatre, and all his spare time is devoted to the play he is writing. It means everything to him: he lives in the fantastic world he is creating, acting out to the full every emotion and situation that he pens, and when his play is finished it arrives on the desk of Jocelyn Macauley, London's leading impresario, at a time when he is particularly anxious to stage a resounding flop and so incur an impressive tax loss. To Macauley, Oh, My Lord! is made to order.
