Along the way, from Leeds and Bradford to Swansea and Chester: the local favourites who became national stars, the larger-than-life characters and the frequent mishaps.

Written with warmth, humour and affection, Jean Steps Out helps preserve an important chapter in Yorkshire and British theatre history.
