It’s Only a Play @ The Bent

It’s Only a Play, by Terrance McNally, directed By Larry Lafond (Nov. 24-Dec. 10). A deliciously hilarious comedy. A wealthy, naive, first-time Broadway producer, Julia Budder, is throwing an amazingly star-studded party in her luxurious Manhattan home. An eccentric cluster of hysterical characters huddle for various reasons in Julia’s bedroom, while waiting for the opening night reviews to come in. There’s a pill-popping leading lady, a TV actor that turned down a role in the play and is secretly hoping it gets panned, a very anxious playwright, a critic who wished he was a playwright, and a director who is begging for someone to be brave enough to finally tell him that his pretentious concepts are full of crap.
