What’s the play about?
“Play It Again, Sam” is a
hilariously wonderful comedy about a shy, nerdy bachelor who is a
Humphrey Bogart fan. The spirit of Bogey visits him to help him make his
way through the world of dating. Those under 30 can relate to the main
character's struggles to find a date, to relax and to be himself. Those
over 30 will delight in his relationship to Bogart and the insights into
marriage that we discover through his
best friends’
relationship.
“Play It
Again, Sam will appeal to
audience members of all ages,” says Jill Drexler, Scripps Ranch
Theatre’s Artistic Director. “It's Woody Allen at his best. There are
some hilarious dream sequences, some pithy philosophy, and it all ends
up happily. What more could a playgoer ask for?”
"hilarious ... a cheerful
romp." "Not only are Mr. Allen's jokes audaciously brilliant, but he
has a great sense of character." "A funny, likeable comedy that has a
surprising amount of wistful appeal."
