"It's a thin curtain between theater and life" says one of the actors in IIIuminata. And as the other players in this star-powered, wiIdIy romantic
taIe wiIl soon discover, it's also a thin Iine between love and betrayal, passion and crueIty, fantasy and truth. Set amid the gaudy decadence of
an eccentric theater company, the backstage intrigues begin as the group mounts a radical new pIay by the troupe's tormented resident writer.
But with opening night approaching, muItipIe complications lurk in the wings - as a lascivious critic preys on the Ieading man, a washed-up
prima donna preys on the playwright and the entire cast plays fast and Ioose with everything from the script to each other's spouses. A
wondrous, witty, wickedly comic taIe. |
