We are back from the pumpkin patch and the extremely muddy (and I do mean extremely) "corn maize". (Yes they are quite clever, aren't they?).
Well, I believe the electronic hat has stiffed me again prize-wise, so I will submit my own
trivia question for which I already know the answers
. Maybe one or two of you will have fun figuring this one out:
In a celebrated theatrical season this play was expected to be a major hit, yet it lasted barely a few weeks on Broadway. The cast reunited several stars, featured players and production crew from one of the biggest hits Broadway had seen from a season previous to this play. Its director would soon become controversial. The play's author would become famous in a field completely unrelated to show business. Bonus points: While touring pre-Broadway, this play had an alternate title and an extremely unusual billing situation.
Though the play was not successful on Broadway, it was filmed a few years later in a highly regarded production. This production used none of the Broadway cast, but featured several stellar and well-known performers. One of these stars was quite famous in their day but is now known chiefly for their relatives. Another star, if remembered today at all, is remembered chiefly for being married to a screen legend. Another performer, just starting out, would one day be a costar in one of the best-remembered and most unique television series of all time. And a bit player would go on to amass a highly respectable resume, despite having the same name of one of the best known movie stars of all time.
