BWW Reviews: Public Theatre Ends Season with Slapstick Comedy
by Carla Maria Verdino-Süllwold
- May 12, 2014
Lewiston's Public Theatre ended its 2013-2014 season with Ron Hutchinson's slapstick sendup about the script writing of Gone with the Wind, Moonlight and Magnolias. Premiered in 2004, the play imagines the tense week in which the legendary producer, David O. Selznick, effectively kidnaps his new writer, newsman Ben Hecht, and director, Victor Fleming, demanding that the trio rewrite and rescue his floundering epic picture. The ensuing antics in this broad and boisterous comedy are wild and frenzied - almost a Three Stooges routine with barely a moment to catch a breath.

Can they rewrite an entire movie script in one week - before they all go bananas?

Two questions: How hard would it be to write the screenplay to Gone with the Wind if you'd never read the Margaret Mitchell book? And how hard would it be to direct Gone with the Wind if you were pulled away from directing The Wizard of Oz to direct this Civil War era epic?
