Synopsis
The West. The 1920s.
Mabel’s had a hard few weeks.
A dynamite accident at a gold mine has left her wealthy but orphaned; she’s shipped off to a calculating aunt, whose nephew is charged with seducing her to control Mabel’s fortune.
This hapless courtship reveals a shared love of silent movies and a plan for greater things.
A story of mishaps and moxie, the romance of Hollywood and ultimately a Hollywood-caliber romance.
A slapstick comedy from the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of Crimes of the Heart.
