Douglas Carter Beane tackles the growing blur of journalism and fiction in his new acerbically funny play. The title characters, played with amazing acuity by the effortlessly charming Jennifer Ehle and John Lithgow, are a gossip columnist couple who live a vampiric lifestyle: sleeping 'til the sun is nearly down, then reveling in the company of high society until it's risen again. One fateful, cocktail-soaked night, they hatch a plot to spice up their column by "discovering" a new elicit affair, drawing on Mr. Fitch's novelist aspirations to fill in the juicy details. Hilarity and madness ensue as they try to stop the monster they've created in this savvy comment on our celebrity-obsessed culture.
