A backstage comedy in the madcap tradition of Noises Off, Moon Over Buffalo centers on George and Charlotte Hay, fading stars of the 1950s. At the moment, they’re playing Private Lives and Cyrano De Bergerac in rep in Buffalo, NY. On the brink of a disastrous split-up caused by George’s dalliance with a young ingénue, they receive word that they might just have one last shot at stardom: Frank Capra, director of It’s a Wonderful Life, is coming to town to see their matinee; if he likes what he sees, he might cast them in his movie remake of The Scarlet Pimpernel. Unfortunately for George and Charlotte, everything that could go wrong does, both on stage and off. Hilarious complications ensue, including visits from their daughter, her clueless fiancé, and Charlotte’s mother, who hates every bone in George’s body. A perfect comedy confection for lovers of theatre and old Hollywood!
