“Keeps the theatre rocking with laughter”
—Christian Science Monitor

A casualty of the prime time TV wars, soap star Andy Rally has come to NY (with his 29 year old virgin girlfriend) to try his luck on stage.  He thinks acting lessons.  His agent thinks Hamlet.  At Shakespeare-in-the-Park.  He gets the role.  He’s justifiably terrified, and inadvertently summons the ghost of the greatest Hamlet of all, John Barrymore, whose old apartment he has unwittingly rented.  Barrymore’s thrilled to be back, not only to coach Andy, but to take up where he left off: brawling, drinking, and charming and disarming the ladies.
