Open SeasonRegional premiere produced as part of Playworks' SummerStage series at Spirit Square's McGlohon Theatre. "This
play is the funniest thing I've seen in years. "Unexpected
laugh lines that pop "A hands down comedic triumph!" It isn't enough that aging legend Mallory Dupre has to contend with reviews that call her "the last of a dying breed." Now her father, the even more legendary Edmund Dupre, has suddenly moved in with her and her witty ex-child star son, now her secretary. Fame, fortune, and families collide as three generations attempt to live and work together, ultimately discovering that blood is thicker than mimosas. "Theatre is just like life," Edmund proclaims, "only with better lighting!" Playwright Michael McKeevers gift for dialogue recalls the brittle, sophisticated banter of Kaufman and Hart, in this story of a very public family that must finally face up to each other in private. |
