A satire, a comedy, a high drama, and a grand attempt to show the folly of playwriting and the actor process at the highest, absurd level!

Turai and his collaborator, Mansky, bring their young composer, Albert, on a surprise visit to an Italian castle. There is also Illona, their prima donna, who is also Albert’s fiancé. All three men overhear an untoward activity between Ilona and another, older, rather obnoxious actor. Act One opens with a discussion on how to best start a play; fourth wall down, hilarity up. A show which is really a barbed satire of the playwriting process, showing just how ridiculous a playwriter can make an actor appear, particularly when the actor is held hostage in his current situation and is in no position to protest. Throw in a sage footman, anal retentive event planner and secretary and a couple of lackey’s and you have The Play’s the Thing!

Starring Joe Bongiorno, Diane Borshcheva, Andrew Joffe, Michael Juzwak, Johnny Lowenthal, John D. Remington, and Alex Skovan.
