For "Once In A Lifetime"

[zachandsuch]

PLOT DESCRIPTION
A classic 'showbiz' comedy from the 1930s. Two vaudevillians, George and Jerry, down on their luck, decide that the advent of 'the talkies' is their chance to make 'Big Money' in Hollywood. Astutely manipulated by their 'better third', the enterprising May Daniels, they set off for Los Angeles with its legion of would-be writers and starlets. A chance encounter on the train leads to May claiming to be voice coach to Lady Tree and their adventures begin. Her male companions, however, have rather more difficulty in keeping up the act Kaufman and Hart's inside knowledge of the entertainment industry lends their satire an edge and originality which made them the most successful comic writing partnership in the American theatre. The parade of humorous types in the film industry, which they parody with such skill, gives an hilarious glimpse into motion pictures in their early days.

On A Personal Note:

+ The Way of the World is a little too complex, not to mention 5 acts
+ Waiting In The Wings doesn't look like anything special - and it flopped several times
+ Midsummer's Night Dream - meh I have mixed feelings
+ Once in a Lifetime is a good show - but I dunno - I was really hoping for a more modern play.

It's the same crap Mr. K always puts on. He's gotta change up the genre one of these days.
