 Moon Over Buffalo
By Ken Ludwig
Directed by Carolyn Bodensteiner
July 24 - 27, 2008 |
 An acting couple
not exactly the Lunts are on tour in Buffalo in 1953
with a repertory consisting of Cyrano de
Bergerac and Noel Coward's Private Lives.
This backstage farce by the author of Lend Me a
Tenor brought Carol Burnett back to Broadway
and also starred Philip Bosco as her megalomanic,
often drunk husband and leading man. Fate has given
these thespians one more shot at starring roles in
The Scarlet Pimpernel epic and director
Frank Capra himself is en route to Buffalo to catch
their matinee performance.
- Will Charlotte Hay appear or run off with their
agent?
- Will George Hay be sober enough to emote?
- Will Capra see Cyrano, Private Lives
or a disturbing mixture of the two?
Hilarious
misunderstandings pile on madcap misadventures, all
of which are magnified by Charlotte's deaf mother
who manages the theatre. |
