Reviews

[Joe Marino · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a fun skewering of Hollywood, tv, and the craziness of the business. A writer who constantly outsources his work and takes credit for it is trying to keep all the plates spinning in his crazy world. The play works for most of the time, but doesn't quite stick the landing. I did enjoy it though, and picture Robert Preston as the lead.

I'm genuinely surprised this play isn't getting more attention here from its repeated mention in Rosemary's Baby (the film, at least, I have yet to read the novel).
