Synopsis
The Last Night of Ballyhoo - Theatre Communications
Published by Theatre Communications
2 Male 5 Female
It's December 1939 and the most important thing in Lala Levy's life is the Atlanta premiere of Gone with the Wind
More urgent to her widowed mother Boo, is the question of who will be Lala's date for the last night of Ballyhoo, the formal dance that crowns the party season for Atlanta's Jewish society
Part of the triumph of The Last Night of Ballyhoo is that Uhry allows ethical dilemmas and class tensions to arise without turning his characters into stick figures or the drama into a predetermined 'issue' play
