    Hollywood producers Bobby Gould and Charlie Fox engage in a verbal boxing match trying to find a resolution to the eternal debate of art versus money. Should they go for another bad action blockbuster? Or should they put themselves on the line for a film adaptation of a spiritual, apocalyptic novel? Gould's secretary Karen acts as inspiration (she brought the novel to Gould's attention) and catalyst in the debate, only to be ditched just as easily in the play's cynical finale. Location: Black Box Theater

        Must see if you are a David Mamet fan. I drove to the westside, having heard the excellent reviews given to Theatre Works. Very nice new theatre complex, although the Black Box audience should be put on risers to see the action on a raised traditional stage! The better acting was provided by the roles of the studio producer and the temp secretary. The seduction scene was very realistic. The other actor sounded throughout like he was looking at the audience and reading his lines one after another. Even when he screamed in supposed anger, it had no realism. A more professional cast would have made it more worthwhile. In spite of the shortcomings, I am tempted to return for the main stage productions, including Bernstein's Candide. Collapse
