Barrymore
Marilyn Monroe Theatre at the Lee Strasberg Creative Center
7936 Santa Monica Blvd West Hollywood
7936 Santa Monica Blvd West Hollywood
Considered by many to be one of the greatest Shakespearean actors of all time, the production is set in 1942, the final year of John Barrymore's life and takes place on the stage of a Broadway theatre, where the actor is struggling to recreate his performance in the title role of Shakespeare's Richard III. Playwright William Luce (The Belle of Amherst) shows us the many facets of this complicated man and dazzling actor: the wives and the women...the drink and the profanity... the notoriety and the glory....in a portrait that Jack Betts brings brilliantly to life.
