THE STORY: Returning home late from a disastrous out-of-town appearance, Rainbow Rivers wakens his wife, Cayella, from her nightmare-ridden sleep. Their conversation soon moves toward memories of the powerful show business figure who has so dominated them both, in body and spirit, that they will never be truly free until they exorcise, once and for all, the lingering uncertainties and fears that still bind them to him even now, when the years of success have gone by. This they struggle to do, with a result that is tragic but in the end both moving and elevating as well.
“…A genuine command of dialogue and the ability to create dramatic tension and atmosphere.” —The New York Times..
