Altman's Last Stand at Zephyr Theatre

Altman's Last Stand

Zephyr Theatre
7456 Melrose Ave. Hollywood

Analyzed at age seven, by Sigmund Freud, the Viennese-born Franz Altman has lived and loved all over the world. Now, his mid-town Manhattan second hand shop, King Solomon's Treasure, is the target of powerful developers, who have bought up all the buildings around him to erect a high-rise. Altman refuses to sell and his battle with the developers becomes a highly rated episode of CBS's 60 Minutes. Everyone wants a piece of Franz Altman, including a beautiful young woman from People magazine who arrives at his shop to interview him. Altman takes her on a titillating journey through the tumultuous Twentieth Century that he has lived through.

"...under the sensitive direction of Charles Haid, Laskin's playful, wise, winning Altman shines through the manipulations of the script; it's a pleasure to spend time with this obdurate, lovable character, even if he's a little too good to be true."

"...Altman's Last Stand is a charming play, a small but thoroughly satisfying delight. Well-written by Charles Dennis, crisply directed by Charles Haid, and shrewdly acted by Michael Laskin, it amuses us, moves us, and (quietly) sends us home with smiles on our faces."
