Theatre Forty will present a reading on Zoom of a new comedy by Michael Halperin, Major Rewrite.The narrative is based on true events. In 1956 a constellation of charismatic stage and motion picture stars, Charles Laughton, Cornelia Otis Skinner, Glynis Johns, Eli Wallach and Burgess Meredith, gather in Boston for the out-of-town performance of the Broadway revival for George Bernard Shaws Major Barbara. The clash of egos, threats from the House Un-American Activities Committee, and family crises rise to a crescendo when novelist and playwright Herman Wouk, brought in to edit the play, throws everyone off-balance at the tryout in Boston.The cast includes David Hunt Stafford, Rebecca Driscoll, Ann Ryerson, Martin Thompson, Todd Ball, David Datz, Roger Weiss.
Ages: 12 to Adult.
