Notes: | Original Playwright - Carlo Goldoni. This is an adaptation of the 18th Century Farce by Carlo Goldoni set in Prohibition-era Chicago. It received Honorable Mention recognition by the Garland Awards for Outstanding Adaptation | |||||
Synopsis: | This hilarious adaptation takes stock Commedia del'Arte characters and reimagines them as archetypes from 1930s gangster films. Set in Prohibition-era Chicago in the 1930s, this version finds an aspiring wiseguy in a heap of trouble when he finds himself working for both a beautiful woman disguised as her brother and the brutal Public Enemy Number One who is trying to become a reformed man. Throw in two rival mob bosses, a switchblade-toting hood and a gun moll with a food fetish and the result is a delightful whirlwind of romance and laughter. | |||||

Synopsis: | The Motion Picture Academy was started as a trade arbitrator controlled by the studio heads. When the real unions started growing in Hollywood, they pressured their members not to attend the 1936 ceremony and climaxed with the Oscar actually being turned down by screenplay winner Dudley Nichols. In an act of desperation, Academy President Frank Capra came up with the tactical master stroke of presenting a special award for lifetime achievement to legendary director D.W. Griffith in a last-ditch effort to generate some excitement for the banquet. The Special Award takes these historical events and imagines them as a kind of a war between the union and Academy factions with Griffith, who sees the award ceremony as a last-chance shot to revive his fallen career by peddling a project to the Hollywood big shots who claim to be honoring him, caught in the middle. But in addition to being caught in the union dilemma and plagued by the disappointments of his career downslide, Griffith must also contend with the never-ending controversy surrounding the racism of his masterpiece Birth of a Nation. | |||||
