#5- Foiled Again
An “accidental” death during a fencing match in New York and the definitely not accidental stabbing with a sabre of the promoter of the match in – of all places – Ramsbottom in Lancashire cannot be connected, surely?
Nick Madrid, fencer, yoga practitioner and accident-prone journalist aims to find out and his often erring aim takes him via a clNick Madrid: the continuing story of a life lived badly.
Amiable, accident-prone journalist Nick Madrid has done some competitive fencing in the past and keeps fit by practising astanga vinyasa yoga. He is also something of a film buff, all of which qualify him as the prime (and only) candidate for the job of replacement stuntman on a low-budget (a very low-budget) pirate film (and musical) being shot in the Caribbean. With an oddball cast of Hollywood rejects and has-beens, not to mention a cameo appearance by Madrid’s best friend Bridget ‘The Bitch of the Broadsheets’ Frost, dodgy props and a Second Unit which seems to be very busy doing something totally unconnected with the film, there seems little chance of sticking to the script.
To confuse matters further, real, modern-day pirates turn up and the principle cast members are shipwrecked on an island with the sole survivor of Cast Adrift, a reality television game show gone horribly (very horribly) wrong. To add to the chaos, Nick, as usual, ends up naked and once again at the mercy of the predatory wildlife.
And just what did happen to the original stuntman?b for sado-masochists, a bizarre art exhibition called ‘The Shock of the Poo’, the history of the British Union of Fascists, a coven of aggressive Sylvia Plath devotees and the mystery of just why Madrid is such an unusual surname in Burnley.
