and Moss Hart. The musical (with a book by George Furth) was first produced in
November of 1981, where it ran for 17 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:9.5pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif"><span></span></span></p>
