The Fancy Dress Party (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781471614712)

Four short stories about people that have hired fancy dress outfits, and the unintended consequences that followed. All are unconnected to each other. THE DEVIL Bertie, who was in fact a morbidly overweight gay Vicar, thought it would be a source of Devilish fun to attend the party for the second time as the Devil himself. The previous year, the outfit had fitted perfectly, but on the day this year, it was discovered at the very last minute that he'd gained weight to such an extent that getting the thing on was going to be a minor miracle in itself. Cancelling was out of the question as his partner was looking forward to the evening immensely. After many twists and turns, the outcome is hilarious. THE POLICEMAN Dave leaves it too late to hire the outfit he wanted, so is forced to wear the only one that is still on the shelf. Reluctantly he hires the Police Officer uniform with unexpected and potentially disastrous consequences. THE NUNS Three brothers who are in business together, plan a Christmas fancy dress party for the staff. They choose to attend as three nuns. All three of them are conned by a local man who is known to the locals as Mad Eric. He turns out not to be so mad after all as one by one they're relieved of their money after buying worthless rubbish. The evening produces some unexpected surprises. THE ACTOR Ralph had always been a great fan of film and stage actors. He attends the above party and turns out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. When he confronts three youths who have taken photos of an intimate nature, they see another side of him. A side that they would never forget.
