WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
This play is based on Neil Simon's experiences as a writer on Sid Caesar's Your Show Of Shows and Caesar's Hour.

"Laughter..." takes place in the 1950s, in the writers room of "The Max Prince Show." The writing staff continually tries to one-up each other with gags to impress Max, all while dealing with the fact that the studio wants to dumb down the program for the Midwest and make the show shorter. Not only that, but Senator Joe McCarthy has started hunting Communists, and no one knows what is going to happen next.

This hilarious, fast-paced comedy is one of Simon's funniest and most poignant plays.
