Synopsis - It's the opening night of The Golden Egg on Broadway, and the
wealthy producer Julia Budder is throwing a lavish party in her lavish
Manhattan townhouse. Downstairs the celebrities are pouring in, but the real
action is upstairs in the bedroom, where a group of insiders have staked
themselves out to await the reviews. The group includes the excitable
playwright; the possibly unstable wunderkind director; the pill-popping
leading lady, treading the boards after becoming infamous in Hollywood; and
the playwright's best friend, for whom the play was written but who passed
up this production for a television series. Add to this a drama critic who's
panned the playwright in the past and a new-in-town aspiring singer, and you
have a prime recipe for the narcissism, ambition, childishness, and just
plain irrationality that infuse the theatre-and for comedy. But don't worry:
This play is sure to be the hit they have all been hoping for.


Roles: 


PETER AUSTIN - The playwright.  Everything is riding on tonight's Broadway
opening.


JULIA BUDDER - The producer.  Attractive and genuinely nice.


IRA DREW - The critic.  Wears glasses and has good stains on his tie.


FRANK FINGER - The director.  Soon to be knighted.


VIRGINIA NOYES - The star.  She has an electronic bracelet on her ankle.


JAMES WICKER - The best friend.  He used to be a stage actor.


GUS P. HEAD - Temporary help.  Fresh off of the farm.
