To win a bet with his ex-wife's fiancee, the disdainful poet Henry enters a play writing contest in this comic lampoon of the contemporary theatre. Henry discovers the disaster of success as he becomes everything he once condemned. A brilliant, darkly comic exploration of the "creative process" and modern culture.

"A doozy...David Hirson, author of the inspired La Bete, returns to Broadway with a new play about the aftershocks of seismic success.... Laugh out loud moments ... [and] outrageous comic elements."-The New York Times
