Then (Simms)
Author(s):
Willard Simms
THEN (subtitled I LOVE LUCY WHO?), takes place in 1957 in a small Theatre in Connecticut, where Neville Smythe, a cape-swinging classical thespian of the old school, offers acting instruction to young hopefuls aiming for careers in television. The present batch of would-be superstars includes a compulsive stutterer (who fancies himself as a future network anchorman); a sexy, foul-mouthed blonde who has appeared in "art" films (meaning soft porn) but wants to move up to bigger (and better) roles; and a handsome, painfully conceited leading man type who aspires to be a talk show host. Neville's method is to plunge them into his beloved "Cyrano de Bergerac"--which results first in a near mutiny and then in some surprisingly affecting (albeit very funny) moments.
