Synopsis:
Andrew Rally seems to have it all: celebrity and acclaim from his starring role in a hit television series; a rich, beautiful girlfriend, a glamorous, devoted agent, the perfect New York apartment, and the chance to play Hamlet in Central Park. There are, however, a couple of glitches in paradise. Andrew’s series has been canceled, his girlfriend is less than interested in connecting with him, and he has no desire to play Hamlet. When Andrew’s agent visits him, she reminisces about her brief romance with John Barrymore many years ago, in Andrew’s apartment. This prompts a séance to summon Barrymore’s ghost.
From the moment Barrymore returns, dressed in high Shakespearean garb, Andrew’s life is no longer his own. Barrymore, fortified by champagne and ego, presses Andrew to accept the part and fulfill his actor’s destiny. The action becomes more hilarious with the entrance of Andrew’s deal-making friend from LA, spouting the laid-back hype of the Coast and offering Andrew a fabulous new TV deal worth millions of dollars. The laughs are non-stop as Andrew wrestles with his conscience, Barrymore, his sword, and the fact that he fails as Hamlet in Central Park.
CHARACTER BREAKDOWN:
Felicia Dantine: Andrew Rally’s real estate broker, Felicia claims that she can speak to the dead; however, her séance arranged to speak with the ghost of Barry more appears on the surface to have been a failure.
Andrew Rally: Young and popular, Andrew Rally is a television actor and star of a recently canceled soap opera. He just moved to New York City from Los Angeles, where he will soon be playing Hamlet on stage. He is both overwhelmed and chagrined by the challenge, because it is the stage, not Hollywood, and because it is perhaps the most difficult role every written. However, he has unwittingly moved into the apartment of the deceased John Barrymore, perhaps the greatest Shakespearean actor who ever lived.
Deirdre McDavey: Attractive and emotional, Deirdre is Rally’s girlfriend. She is committed, much to his annoyance, to “saving herself” until they are married.
Lillian Troy: Rally’s agent, Lillian is in her early twenties but remembers fondly an affair she had with John Barry more many years ago, in the apartment Rally now lives in.
John Barrymore: A lengendary actor, Barrymore, or, rather, his ghost is still quite active (in many ways) and appears to help Rally in the nuances of both acting and love.
Gary Peter Lefkowitz: A cocky, pompous television producer, Lefkowitz gave Rally his first big break. He wants Rally to move back to Los Angeles to film a new television series and can’t understand why he isn’t jumping at the chance.
