Afternoon Reading - Hay-on-Wye Stories 2008 - The Hilltop Singer

There are few job prospects in Filippo's small Umbrian village and he's determined not to be merely a greengrocer or barber. When a job comes up working in the village's pride and joy - the smallest theatre in the world - Filippo leaps at the chance. So what if it's just selling postcards to tourists in the foyer? Filippo dares to dream that he shall one day sing on that gilded stage. Perhaps he'll be discovered and be able to pursue his ambition of becoming a famous opera singer?
