A killer comedy!

ComedyCrime

After young playwright, David Shayne obtains funding for his play from gangster Nick Valenti, Nick's girlfriend Olive miraculously lands the role of a psychiatrist—but not only is she a bimbo who could never pass for a psychiatrist—she's a dreadful actress. David puts up with the leading man who is a compulsive eater, the grand dame who wants her part jazzed up, and Olive's interfering hitman/bodyguard—but, eventually he must decide whether art or life is more important.

VIBE

A boisterous, fast-talking dive into the cutthroat world of Broadway theater. It's a whirlwind of eccentric characters, sharp wit, and the hilarious, often dangerous, compromises made in the name of art and ambition.
