Title: Funny, funny script
Review: I read this book, a stage play, because I'm going to be directing it this spring at my local Playhouse. Dr. David Mortimore is about to deliver the Ponsonby Lecture, a prestigious address that will almost certainly propel his career into the stratosphere. On the day of the lecture, however, a nurse he had a dalliance with 18 years ago shows up with a teenage son he never knew existed. David and his sidekick Hubert begin piling lie on top of lie to protect his career, and things spiral completely out of control. The script is funny as heck (which is why I wanted to direct it), and a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to working with the snappy dialogue and bits of physical comedy that Cooney provides us. And let's face it, any time you can throw in a little cross-dressing, it's going to generate plenty of laughs.
