PLAY YOURSELF by Harry Kondoleon
Jean, an ex-movie star who left Hollywood some time ago, lives with Yvonne, her daughter. Their main activities together involve reenacting moments from Jeans old movies, in which she always seemed to play the other woman. After placing an ad seeking more information about Jean, Selma is invited into their lives. Selma is obsessed with Jean not with the real one, but with the one on screen to the point that she hopes to learn how to become Jean. When not submerged in Jeans past, Selma works with Brother Harmon, also a fan of Jean, running a shelter for the hopeless. While Jean seeks hope and faith, and Selma seeks Jean, and Harmon seeks love, Yvonne simply wants to be left alone. By the end of the play, Selma takes over Yvonnes responsibilities as caregiver for Jean; and Harmon, with his sincerity, sweeps Yvonne off her feet...
PLAY YOURSELF was first produced in New York by the New York Theater Workshop (James C. Nicola, Artistic Director, Lynn Moffat, Managing Director; Linda S. Chapman, Associate Artistic Director). It opened at the Century Center for the Performing Arts in New York City on July 10, 2002.
