A play within a play within a play; on opening night on Broadway, the playwright’s engagement to the leading actress is announced in the tabloids. The director, producer, the lead’s understudy, and leading actor relive the opening night that gets horrible reviews. The star actress commits suicide…. one year later; all the players are back together with a few additions to “read” a new script. Things get heated and we learn what actually happened.
