Synopsis: | Set in 1965, Finding the Rooster is about the effect of war on a patrician New England family. In one action-filled evening the head of the family seeks to divorce his seemingly unfaithful alcoholic wife. As the wife attempts to engage her husband in a boozy battle of wits much is revealed about their mutual pain including the loss of their older son who was killed in the war and the husband's intention to have his younger son dismantled and sent off to military school. Their feuding is interrupted by the wife's flamboyant brother who arrives to defend his sister and take his troubled nephew's mind off of his problems with colorful stories about his days as a soldier who never fought in actual battle but was decorated for 'finding the rooster' | |||||

Synopsis: | Did James Frey deserve to fry? Did William Shakespeare really write all of those plays? In a restaurant on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, a celebrated novelist confesses to plagiarism and his publisher urges him to repeat the offense one last time for a tidy profit. As a prostitute and a very confused waiter practice their own professions, the topics soon turn from scampi, sex, and literature to matters of life and death. On this night of all New York nights, the Muse asks 'how far would you go for fame'? | |||||
