Second Best Tickets

At ten years old, Martin Hill was on the brink of stardom, down to the
final two contenders for the role of Harry Potter but narrowly missing
out. Now an adult, Martin is about to embark on the ultimate adventure
– fatherhood. As he navigates this whirlwind of emotions, he is pulled
back to that pivotal moment in his past as he struggled to move beyond
imagining what his life might have been.
Second Best is a playful yet poignant new comedy about fate, near-
misses and the winding paths life takes. It explores the ache of almost
touching greatness and the humour and hope that come when dreams
remain just out of reach. A story about the tender moments that shape
us, Second Best is for anyone who has ever wondered about the road
not taken, and whether the other life would have been as glittering as it
looks.
