'If we've never had it so good, why do we feel so bad? Lucas draws on personal experience of the particular anxieties which arise when we find ourselves in front of a live audience, and explores the universal parallels that exist between the experiences of the professional performer and the struggle to "perform well" in our day-to-day lives, be it in the bedroom, the boardroom or the supermarket checkout queue.'
