The newest play in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS collection is CLOWNS ON THE GROUND.
Chicago, 1962:
A massive storm has hit the Windy City, grounding all aircraft.
In
the V.I.P. Lounge of the Chicago airport, legendary comedians MILTON
BERLE, JOE E. BROWN and BERT LAHR are forced to linger together until
the weather clears.
Berle and Brown are on their way to California;
slated to film their scenes in Stanley Kramer's comedy, IT'S A MAD, MAD,
MAD, MAD WORLD, while Lahr has just finished a disastrous tryout of a
new play in the Yukon.
Now, as the trio
waits, old resentments, personal frustrations and insecurities rise to
the surface, making the job of the young airline attendant assigned to
the lounge, who just happens to be an aspiring comedian, anything but
peaceful.
CLOWNS ON THE GROUND is a
probing, often funny, look at three men who could always make us laugh,
despite their own personal pain.
4 Men; 1 Woman. Single Set.
Paperback and Kindle editions are available via Amazon and other booksellers.
