Synopsis
Cakewalk
Published by Dramatists Play Service
2 Male 3 Female
Lillian Hellman, the legendary, glamorous, glittering, inscrutable playwright, comes to life again in this highly personal love story, written for the theater by the man who lived it
Spanning more than two decades, the relationship ricochets between bouts of tenderness and rage, humor and woe, sex and death, the story is impelled by the rhythms - the wash and backwash - of the human heart
"A brisk romp Cakewalk traffics in its heroine's private passions" ~ NY Times
" the play emerges as bright, brittle bewitchingly entertaining The play is well-crafted and witty, the crisp one-liners, mostly poised indulgently between epigram and insult, are a particular joy, whether they emanate from Hellman, Feibleman or the osmosis of thin air Cakewalk is up and strutting" ~ NY Post
