'Devastatingly funny, with dizzy, irresistible writing' - New York Times
Rising film star
Mitchell Green is every girl's fantasy and soon to
become a household name, thanks to his devilishly determined agent Diane,
who excels at navigating the choppy waters of Hollywood. With Mitchell on the brink of
superstardom, Diane encounters one teensy-weensy obstacle - she can't seem
to keep her leading man in the closet. With Mitchell's new 'friend' Alex on the scene and Alex's beautiful girlfriend Ellen (yes, he
has a girlfriend) causing a drama of her own, what lengths will Mitchell
go to play the part and will there be a Hollywood ending when the final
credits roll?
Douglas Carter Beane's Tony Award-nominated
comedy hilariously satirizes the superficial world of show business
and the game playing of the movie industry.
