As the six older members of the Blue Door Theatre Company set off for drama school in London, they are united in their ambition to establish their own professional theatre back home in Fenchester. However, the bright lights of the West End prove so dazzling that at least one of the friends is soon tempted to abandon that ambition for the sake of her own promising career. Following the characters from the classic of children's literature The Swish of the Curtain through two exciting years of drama school and their first taste of professional success, Golden Pavements is the third book in the Blue Door series.
