After the relationship turbulence of the first six months of the year (you can hear all about that in the last episode - episode 8), our hero, the 15 year-old Gyles, sensibly turns his attention away from romance and onto other things. The most pressing one being his upcoming performance in the school production of Twelfth Night. Can he follow the advice of his drama teacher and learn to act "from the inside out?" And stop putting on silly voices and being a ham? Meanwhile, there's major news on the international stage as President John F Kennedy is shot while riding in a motorcade through the centre of Dallas, Texas. Gyles, in his inimitable style, keeps us up to date with all this and more in another episode of his not-to-be-missed teenage diaries. Cue the music. Learn more about your ad choices.
