| Summary: |
For a small town newspaper like The Alpine Advocate, a new play at the local community college is big news. Editor and publisher Emma Lord is duty-bound to attend opening night, but expects the amateur enterprise will serve only as a cure for insomnia. The play is dubbed ?a black comedy,? but the only laughs Emma gets are from the bad acting and the wretched script. And while the turgid production makes Wagner?s Ring cycle seem like a vignette, the real drama begins just before the final curtain. |
