Cast: 5 women, 6 men Running time: 90 minutes Available from: ProPlay A comedy in two acts about a comedy in two acts. A financial "angel" rescues an impoverished acting troupe. Or does he? One set. Suitable for high schools, colleges, regional and community theatres. A farce with incidental music that uses Laban techniques, melodrama, improvisation, Method, and Shakespeare, and includes a parody of the story of Puccini's Tosca, featuring a trampoline. It's about human corruptibility and the constant friction between commerce and art - a classic enduring story of rent vs. artistic principles. It's a set, technical, and costume designer's dream with falling paper flowers, offstage fights, illuminated moons and actors dressed sometimes as cavaliers and sometimes as dogs. - Travis Michael Holder | Backstage West “A delightful comedy that will keep you giggling all evening... Diane Grant, resident playwright, has created a fun-filled, entertaining comedy that will be well worth the trip to the theatre.” - Michael Upward | Maestro Arts and Reviews, LA “... it is brilliant.” - Steve Guttenberg | Palisadian Post, LA “... a well-constructed, light-hearted farce.” - Jim Boyett | Theatre Resources Unlimited Productions: Australian International School - Hong Kong Write Act Repertory - Los Angeles, CA | ||
