Buyer & Cellar
The Original Script for the Off Broadway Hit
Jonathan Tolins
About This Book
The original script of the award-winning off-Broadway playā"irresistibly entertaining [and] surprisingly moving" (Paul Rudnick). Alex More has a story to tell. A struggling actor in LA, he takes a job working in the Malibu basement of a beloved megastar. One day, the Lady Herself comes downstairs to play. It feels like real bonding in the basementābut will their relationship ever make it upstairs? A winner of the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Solo Show, Buyer & Cellar is an outrageous comedy about the price of fame, the cost of things, and the oddest of odd jobs. "Jonathan Tolins has concocted an irresistible one-man play from the most peculiar of fictitious premises... This seriously funny slice of absurdist whimsy creates the illusion of a stage filled with multiple people, all of them with their own droll point of view." ā The New York Times "A gorgeous play: funny and beautifully observed and richly insightful." āMoisĆ©s Kaufman "Tolins's writing is smart, sharp, and hilariousāand he paints a vivid picture that even a perfectionist like Barbra would have to applaud." āJames Lapine
