in 1981, is based on a 1934 play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. The
musical (with a book by George Furth) was first produced in November of 1981,
where it ran for 16 performances. Not very successful eh? It tells of the
disintegration of the friendship of successful songwriter Franklin Shepard, his
lyricist and best friend Charlie Kringas, and novelist Mary Flynn. The action
moves backward through time, from 1976 to 1957.</span><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"></span></p>
