Bella Manningham thinks she’s losing her mind. In the evenings, she hears strange sounds and the lights dim for no apparent reason. But is she losing her grip on reason, or is it being loosened for her? Patrick Hamilton’s 1938 play gave us the word we now use for an insidious form of mental abuse.

It's Only a Play

by Terrence McNally

The reviews are about to drop, and the drama hasn't even hit the stage!

A neurotic playwright, a pill-popping diva, an eccentric director, and a brutal critic lock themselves in the bedroom of a classy Manhattan hotel to await the opening-night reviews. What follows is a hilarious, star-studded meltdown of fierce gossip, massive egos, and pure showbiz panic. It’s a laugh-out-loud love letter to the theatre—proving that when your sanity is on the line, it’s never just a play.
