Mrs Sedgewick's Head

During his incarceration he writes a novel - in his mind - totally memorizes it, and upon his release writes it down verbatim and has it published under a pseudonym

It is a huge success and Hollywood comes calling

The novel is purchased by an independent producer who hooks up with a studio

Although the novel is published under a pseudonym, the studio insists Johnny write the screenplay

Secrets can't be kept

The studio sends a young female exec and the slimy producer to Johnny's cabin to convince him that he's the only one for the job

What at first seems like a screamingly funny and scathing Hollywood comedy soon turns into a rather dark and brooding look at selfishness and self loathing

The ruthless Hollywood moguls and the seemingly innocent locals ultimately clash, showing both sides in a harsh light, proving that if one is not capable of a mercenary lifestyle, one is nothing but a victim

"It's hard not to resort to some of the "'Hollywood Hype'" the play takes on, to note its impact, but [the play] indeed is: Riveting! Startling! and Not to be Missed!" ~ East Providence Post
