The Play’s the Thing (2005 Season)

Turai, a successful playwright, and Mansky, his common-sensical collaborator, have just arrived at the castle in the middle of the night with their newest protege in tow. He is Adam, a young composer hopelessly in love with Ilona, the diva who is to star in the operetta he's writing for Turai and Mansky.

The three have made the grave mistake of planning to surprise Ilona, who's also staying at the castle. As they are settling into their suite, they suddenly overhear Ilona in the next room making love to Almady, a ham actor and a former flame. The sensitive Adam goes to emotional pieces; he'll never write another note of music. Mansky is ready to cancel the show then and there. Only Turai keeps his head. Thinking fast, he devises a plan to insure that his newest, most glorious production will not close at 3 A.M. out of town before the critics have had the chance to make fools of themselves.
