It Means Mischief

More than enough imaginative colour to enliven even the dreariest day

Young Dublin actress Deirdre O'Dare has just landed her first big role and desperately wants to shine - and to impress David, the director she has fallen madly in love with. 
 
But while Deirdre loves David, David loves leading lady Eva. Meanwhile, Sebastian and Rory wait in the wings... 
 
A funny, entertaining and sexy backstage tale set in Dublin's theatre world, It Means Mischief details the romantic adventures of a young woman who - during one long, hot summer - discovers the difference between infatuation, lust and love.
