- Synopsis
- Full Length, Comedy \ 5 m, 3 f \ Unit set \ This Off-Broadway hit is set in 1950's Hollywood during the blacklist days. This is a hilarious comedy that touches on serious subjects by the author of Vampire Lesbians of Sodom. Mary Dale is a musical comedy star who discovers to her horror that her husband, her best friend, her director and houseboy are all mixed up in a communist plot to take over the movie industry. Among their goals is the dissolution of the star system! Mary's conversion from Rodeo Drive robot to McCarthy marauder who ultimately names names, including her husband's, makes for outrageous, thought provoking comedy. The climax is a wild dream sequence where Mary imagines she's Lady Godiva, the role in the musical she's currently filming. Both right and left are skewered in this comic melodrama. \ "You have to champion the ingenuity of Busch's writing which twirls twist upon twist and spins into comedy heaven."-Newsday
