Last Rehearsal

Eleanor Random is a Pulitizer Prize-winning playwright who has not had a hit in 25 years. Her husband, J.C., has directed all of her plays to date and now is directing her latest, "A Life Forgotten," in a final, desperate attempt to recapture some semblance of their past glory. Unfortunately, they have been teamed up with Alexis, a soap queen and B-movie actress, and her husband, Kirk, the star of multimillion-dollar ninja movies, both hoping to earn credibility as serious actors. In Eleanor's play, Kirk and Alexis portray James and June who yearn for professional recognition as they rehearse a drama called "A Forgotten Life," a play about a director and his playwright wife. Like a set of fun house mirrors creating reflections upon reflections, it soon becomes difficult to know when people are being themselves or acting their parts.
