MY Life in the Theater: Mr. and Mrs. Hollywood

We saw this play by Barret O'Brien in 2003 at the Southern New Plays Festival in New Orleans. If we are at a conference, we often seek out plays in the area and this was how we saw this play. Mr. O'Brien seems to be a prominent New Orleans playwright, an interesting phenomena that we have seen locally. A writer will find a local theater eager to perform his plays.

This play was included in the American Playwrights: The Best Plays of 2003. It was the story of husband and wife actors both nominated for Oscars. Sorry that I don't remember more but I think we enjoyed it.

Looks like the set of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

The actress both does and doesn't look familiar.

There's a pretty good local play environment here.

She's Ashley Nolan; he's Karl Lengel.
