Nina Dalton, a movie star too-old-for-Hollywood, has returned to the stage in a new play by her much older, Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist husband, Brian Bartov. Brian is waging a dual battle against early-stage Alzheimer’s Disease and the temptation to rewrite Nina’s part for a young starlet in the play’s film version. Their bold-faced world is unsettled by the return of Gar Jackson, Nina’s first love, who shows up after a twenty year absence. He comes with a commitment to Art over Commerce, and a play of staggering beauty and epic proportions, written for Nina.
