This play is indeed the thing.
Set in a castle on the Italian Riviera, "The Play's the Thing" toys with
theatrical form and reality in high style. Two tuxedoed playwrights, who work
together writing the librettos for frothy musicals, must peacefully resolve a
love triangle to save their next show and the heart of the young composer with
whom they collaborate.
An aging ingénue and the lecherous older actor who once mentored her are part of
the plot. When disaster appears imminent, one of the dramatists steps forward
with an ingenious scheme to create a play within the play that will produce a
happy ending.
“Well, that’s the theatre. Either you master it or it masters you.”
Directed by Lavina Jadhwani.
