Seacoast Repertory presents Laughter ...
Description
Inspired by Neil Simon?s early career experience as a junior writer (along with his brother Danny) for Your Show of Shows, the play focuses on Sid Caesar-like Max Prince, the star of a weekly comedy-variety show circa 1953, and his staff, including Simon?s alter-ego Lucas Brickman, who maintains a running commentary on the writing, fighting, and wacky antics which take place in the writers? room. Max has an ongoing battle with NBC executives, who fear his humor is too sophisticated for Middle America.
