WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In Arthur Miller's Finishing the Picture, a distinguished director is about to lose his picture due to the unstable behavior of a famously fragile movie star. She's recognized all over the world, loved by millions, but unable to believe in herself. The studio owners are threatening to pull the plug, and a temperamental acting teacher is flown in to coax the actress out of bed and onto the set. This fable of the perversion of the American Dream could only come from one of America's greatest living playwrights, Arthur Miller, and will be staged as a world premiere by the Goodman's Tony Award-winning artistic director, Robert Falls.

Should the producer pull the plug, thereby destroying the star's career and -- it's implied -- her life? He consults with the director who's nurtured her career, the intuitive cameraman who treasures her luminous skin and "great ass," Kitty's rapacious and interfering acting coaches, her devoted assistant, and her screenwriter husband.
Finishing the Picture, the Arthur Miller world premiere at Chicago's Goodman Theatre through November 7, is inspired by the problematic production of the 1960 film The Misfits, written by Miller for his then-wife, Marilyn Monroe. Miller (Pau[...]
