Comedy / Characters: 4m, 2f / Unit set A faded screenwriter in the
1940's woos her troubled ex-writer son into collaborating on a
screen play. The gangster/sci fi B-movie in their imagination
unfolds before us, involving a chic crime czarina, a beautiful but
icy lady scientist and her failed and understandly bitter human
cloning experiment. A third story is the Russian fairy tale the
screenwriter told her son as a child about a painfully shy princess
who forges a diabolical pact with a terrifying but surprisingly
vulnerable old witch. The fairy tale inspires the movie which
inspires the mother and son screenwriters to mend their fractured
relationship. "Plays-within-plays require such intricate tailoring.
So it's a pleasure to report that with The Third Story, the
ever-captivating Charles Busch proves equally deft as both
performer and seamstress." -Theatermania. "The main joy of The
Third Story is that its foolery embodies something substantive...No
wonder The Third Story feels like such an energizing event."
-Village Voice.
