See This Play.

I saw a great new play Saturday night at the Daryl Roth Theater on Union Square. Manuscript is about some young writers in the winter of their first year at the Ivies and deals with issues such as friendship, betrayal, ethics, class and compassion. The plot is tight with several twists that made me gasp. A gorgeously authentic set represents a house in Brooklyn Heights. Manuscript is directed by Bob Balaban and produced by Scott Rudin. The young stars include Pablo Schreiber ( also in the recently-released film Lords of Dogtown) and Jeffrey Carlson, who Bizzy and I saw in the title role of Lorenzaccio at the National Shakespeare Theater. Highly recommended.
