Snag Legends! Imagined By James Kirkwood Jr. Softcover

Kirkwood Charachters:male,female Interior Set Eager beaver producer Martin Klemmer, a wheeler dealer if ever there was one, has uncovered a terrific commercial script 'Star Wars: The Play'.
Since he has produced only one Off Broadway project, something called 'Craps!', Martin's calls are not being returned by the powerful Broadway magnates capable of getting this play to the Great White Way.
Martin needs names, names like film legends Sylvia GlennComedy After reading James Kirkwood's DIARY OF A MAD PLAYWRIGHT, you get the impression that Carol Channing's refusal to continue with his play LEGENDS after Mary Martin left was a matter of ego.
She didn't want to compete with a younger star who might steal the spotlight, Now that I've read LEGENDS, however, I'm pretty sure she was just worn out from a year of trying to make a not very good play work.
This is labored farce about the attempt to get two aging actresses who were once film involved in a bitter feud to work together.
Since both are broke, it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that they'll find a way to work together, but Kirkwood pads it out with bitchy lines hardly up to the level of a good episode of RU PAUL'S DRAG RACE and a tired scene in which they accidentally eat some hash brownies.
Frankly, the play wasn't worth cutting down trees to have it published, Better than I remembered, yet I was offended with the racist dialogue around the maid, The playwright offers a disclaimer, but it did little to assuage this impression,

Wish I saw it live, Now will reread DIARY OF A MAD PLAYWRIGHT for the productions backstage story, Charming and funny.
