Synopsis

The Crocodile Smile

The Crocodile Smile $13

Jerome Lawrence & Robert E. Lee

Published by Dramatists Play Service

Large Mixed Cast
Tells of two inspired French comedians, both popular favorites

A beautiful woman, in love with both of them, agrees to build them their ideal theatre

Then the rivalry begins: for she agrees to marry the "better actor"

In tour-de-force roles which truly give actors a chance to show their talents, each goes to extravagant extremes to prove his mettle

The second act brings the deeply human awareness that genius cannot be handed over, gift-wrapped, to another generation. It is a fierce indictment against retirement, and offers a challenge to continue living in the living theatre

Large mixed cast of 11 men and 12 women is required
