IT'S ONLY A PLAY To Be Presented This Weekend!
IT’S ONLY A PLAY
By Terrence McNally
THE STORY: “It’s the opening night of The
Golden Egg on Broadway, and the wealthy producer Julia Budder is throwing
a lavish party in her lavish Manhattan townhouse. Downstairs the celebrities
are pouring in, but the real action is upstairs in the bedroom, where a group
of insiders have staked themselves out to await the reviews. The group includes
the excitable playwright; the possibly unstable wunderkind director; the
pill-popping leading lady, treading the boards after becoming infamous in
Hollywood; and the playwright’s best friend, for whom the play was
written but who passed up this production for a television series. Add to this
a drama critic who’s panned the playwright in the past and a new-in-town
aspiring singer, and you have a prime recipe for the narcissism, ambition,
childishness, and just plain irrationality that infuse the theatre—and
for comedy. But don’t worry: This play is sure to be the hit they have
all been hoping for.” (Dramatists Play Service, Inc.)
