Legendary actor of stage and screen. Bawdy womanizer with ex-wives to spare. Professional alcoholic. John Stevens brings the life of an aging John Barrymore front and center in this one man show filled with ribald humor, stories - and parodies - of everyone he's ever met, verbal sparring with his exasperated prompter, and Shakespeare that just won't stick.
Eleven original short plays written by local playwrights! In one night you can get a glimpse, amongst other things, into Shakespeare's mind, a touching father-daughter moment before she walks down the aisle, a spelling bee gone awry, a cruise to an unusual destination and chickens!
