The Rainbow Player de David Kerby-Kendall

The Rainbow Player

Autor David Kerby-Kendall
en Limba Engleză Paperback

England footballer, Sammy Hatchington, has never considered
sexuality before. As a teenager, Sammy broke the mould of his
youthful peers with his desire to open the door to life's endless
possibilities. He escaped a deprived estate and, with the help of Old
Thomas, his surrogate father, Davey, his soul-mate, and Gran, the
connoisseur of footballer's bottoms, launched himself on a path toward
his personal and professional goals. Now, several years later, he must
make a decision that could destroy everything he has fought for, and
create a furious media frenzy.........


David Kerby-Kendall's joyous and witty novel challenges preconceptions
about professional sportsmen and love, and is also a delightful and
moving story of a young man's journey to self-knowledge.

Notă biografică

David's first play was 'Save Your Kisses For Me', written from an idea that he had spawned by the first ever single that he purchased by The Brotherhood Of Man. From the success of that play, David became the "In-House" writer for Heartbreak Productions. In this role he wrote plays and adapted novels for national tours, including adapting 3 David Walliam's children's novels; 'Mr Stink', 'Ratburger' and 'Billionaire Boy'. David's second play was called 'The Moon is Halfway to Heaven'. This was produced at Jermyn Street Theatre, in the West End, London. He has also written 2 further plays 'Gay Pride And No Prejudice' and '20:40' (a play about depression). These are being staged in London in 2018. Having written several plays, David began to write novels. He said "I'd always wanted to write a story about a gay footballer, both to help create discussion about the subject and also to write about the human being behind the icon, so that people could empathise with the real person, not just the photo on the back pages of the newspapers." Book was initially released as 'The Last Taboo', and was then re-launched in June 2017 as 'The Rainbow Player'. As The Rainbow Player, the story has attracted a lot of support and attention, and David has been featured on a BBC radio show, giving a reading of the book. An incredibly moving story, David really captures the reader's imagination, bringing a deep empathy to the main character and the problems that his personal life brings to his professional position as a footballer.
