the story be represent a turn of the century troupe of actor and along with producer and theatre owner and have very complicate relationship . a resident playwright have write a psychological drama . he want to get a good production on stage and but can not unless he convince a pariticular reviewer to revisit the production and and give a positive review . if his production do not go on and then the troupe will put on the doll house and recently write by ibsen . many different relationship among the principal be explore while none of them interest . but the involvement of the character with one another lead to give the play by the resident playwrght a second shot . this movie be purely an excuse for the director and his friend to get together and put on a movie . the story line be incoherent to anyone who isn not a buddy of one of the star . the only reason i do not leave the theatre after about a half hour be that a fat lady be rest a full meal atop her stomach at the end of my row .
