Funny Tarkington,
This review is from: Harlequin & Columbine (Library Binding)
This book is a short novel about the production of a play. Stewart Camby has spent the past two years writing and polishing his masterpiece. The book starts at the beginning of dress rehearsals. Camby's cast and managerial staff includes a wide variety of characters that cause ultimately Camby consternation.For instance, the famous, lead actor Talbot Potter constantly insists that the Camby change the play to suit him. Talbot, a bachelor, is also smitten with Wanda Malone, the ingenue. He wants her part to stand out and eventually have his character fall in love with her (which mirrors his real life feelings for Wanda). Camby's once perfect play must suit Talbot's fickle tastes as Camby himself becomes infatuated with Wanda. Before the end of the book, Camby's play has changed drastically from what it used to be to hold the actor's interest. Tarkington writes an interesting and funny look at the production of a play. The neurotic characters are a joy. However, the start of the book was a little confusing, but once the story gets rolling the characters come alive. The ending was also a surprise and made the book worthwhile.
