Synopsis

To win a bet with his ex-wife's fiancee, the disdainful poet Henry enters a play writing contest in this comic lampoon of the contemporary theatre.

Henry discovers the disaster of success as he becomes everything he once condemned.

A brilliant, darkly comic exploration of the "creative process" and modern culture.

Press Reviews

"A doozy...David Hirson, author of the inspired La Bete, returns to Broadway with a new play about the aftershocks of seismic success.... Laugh out loud moments ... [and] outrageous comic elements."

— The New York Times

"Glitters with a wintry brightness lit by rays of youthful heat. It is a magnet for bristling themes and appealing characters...It raises fascinating questions about artistic intention and authenticity."

— San Francisco Chronicle

"A fresh, vibrant piece of theatre about theatre ... as theatrical as it is intellectual, as entertaining as it is thought provoking."

— Oakland Tribune

"Of the new Broadway plays, my money is on Wrong Mountain."

— The New Yorker

"Gutsy...Shot full of high voltage wordplay."

— Newsday
