A good story should have a happy ending. Real life, however, is filled with untoward events and refuses to follow the rules of Mozartian opera. Our characters will still be presented in theatrical style. Each will have a few moments of monologue or a chance to stand alone on stage. None speaks from a pulpit; they all act on stage. This is a puppet theatre of words, revealing only half the truth - but which half? Perhaps it is best not to believe a single word. Drawing of Burslem old town hall, based on original by Matthew Rice, author and illustrator of The Lost City of Stoke on Trent.

Autorenporträt
Born into a family of potters in Stoke and apprenticed at 17, John Duncan attended the North Staffs Technical College and gained the Pottery Manager's Certificate. At 21 years, Duncan was made Works Manager of an old dinner & teaware factory employing 100 people. He was supposed to know all about earthenware manufacture. Inevitably, he was called on to fire an old bottle oven due to the untimely demise of the old fireman. The economic crisis following Suez closed the factory. Duncan left Stoke.
