    I had the good fortune to see this when it was produced by the Fine Arts Association. A delightfully meta sendup of the biopic genre.

    It's hilarious, snappy, and charmingly meta. It turns its own genre on its head, taking biographic metatheatre and the weird pseudoexpositional dialect it speaks in and making a brazen mockery of that. "Three actors" killed me.
