Hired to helm an Americanized take on a British play, director Lloyd Fellowes does his best to control an eccentric group of stage actors. With a star actress quickly passing her prime, a male lead with no confidence, and a bit actor that's rarely sober, chaos ensues in the lead up to a Broadway premiere.

This is one of the greatest comic plays and this adaptation works well. Great performances and very faithful. Of course it will always be unbeatable onstage.

Un an plus tard et je pense la même chose. La façon dont toutes les amorces sont faites dans la première partie pour que les gags s’enchaînent sans qu’on ait besoin d’y réfléchir je kiffe. Cause à effet l’équipe
