Full Length, Dramatic Comedy / 2m, 1f / 2 ints.
Revived on Broadway in 2008, the original production starred Joe
Mantegna, Ron Silver and Madonna in this hilarious satire of
Hollywood, a culture as corrupt as the society it claims to
reflect. Charlie Fox has a terrific vehicle for a currently hot
client. Bringing the script to his friend Bobby Gould, the newly
appointed Head of Production at a major studio, both see the work
as their ticket to the Big Time. The star wants to do it; as they
prepare their pitch to the studio boss, Bobby wagers Charlie that
he can seduce the temp/secretary, Karen. As a ruse, he gives her a
novel by "some Eastern sissy" writer that needs a courtesy read
before being dismissed out of hand. Karen slyly determines the
novel, not the movie-star script, should be the company's next
film. She sleeps with Bobby who is so smitten with Karen and her
ideals that he pleads with Charlie to drop the star project and and
pitch the "Eastern sissy" writer's book.
