Event
Moonlight and Magnolias
This play will be a delight to people who like classic movies and the more positive Hollywood folklore. The play centers around the desperate, final days in the rewriting of the script for "Gone With the Wind," the 1939 film that gave the world its first cinematic mega-hit. Based on real characters and some actual events, "Moonlight" gives a fictional account of what happened when the acclaimed producer David O. Selznick decided that he had to call in a new writer and director after filming had already begun. Ben Hecht and Victor Fleming, after much pleading from Selznick, reluctantly agree to take on the task. The action happens entirely in Selznick's office where the three spend a harried five days and nights, dining only on peanuts and bananas (for energy, Selznick maintains.) They hilariously belittle each other's talents and motivations while coming up with a script.
