A high-school sex scandal jolts a group of teenage girls into a new awareness of their potency and power.

But when the local drama school decides to turn the scandal into a show, the boundaries between private and public begin to dissolve. |
| Synopsis: |
A high-school sex scandal jolts a group of teenage girls into a new awareness of their own potency and power. The sudden and total publicity seems to turn every act into a performance and every platform into a stage. But when the local drama school decides to turn the scandal into a show, the real world and the world of the theatre are forced to meet, and soon the boundaries between private and public begin to dissolve. "The Rehearsal" is an exhilarating and provocative novel about the unsimple mess of human desire, at once a tender evocation of its young protagonists and a shrewd expose of emotional compromise. |
