>>> The Play: 
>>> Andrew Rally seems to have it all: celebrity and acclaim from his starring role 
>>>in a hit television series; a rich beautiful girlfriend; a glamorous, devoted 
>>>agent; the perfect New York apartment; and the chance to play Hamlet in Central 
>>>Park. There are, however, a couple of glitches in paradise. Andrew's series has 
>>>been canceled; his girlfriend is clinging to her virginity with unyielding 
>>>conviction; and he has no desire to play Hamlet. When Andrew's agent visits him, 
>>>she reminices about her brief romance with John Barrymore many years ago, in 
>>>Andrew's apartment. This prompts a seance to summon his ghost. From the moment 
>>>Barrymore returns, dressid in high Shakespearan garb, Andrew's life is no longer 
>>>his own. Barrymore, fortified by champagne and ego, presses Andrew to accept the 
>>>part and fulfill his actor's destiny. The action becomes more hilarious with the 
>>>entrance of Andrew's deal-making friend from LA, spouting the laid-back hype of 
>>>the Coast and offering Andrew a fabulous new TV deal worth millions of dollars. 
>>>The laughs are nonstop as Andrew wrestles with his conscience, Barrymore, his 
>>>sword, and the fact that he fails as Hamlet in Central Park. 
>>>
