La Ronde de Lunch 2000

A hilarious farce written by Peter Lefcourt–screenwriter, novelist, and Emmy Award-winning creator of Showtime’s new hit series “Beggars and Choosers.” A bevy of industry types, including a Greek chorus of waiters all named “Bruce,” converge on a trendy bistro where cappuccinos are sipped, gossip is traded, deals are made and, careers are destroyed. Lefcourt’s fresh version, written expressly for El Portal, deliciously dissects the familiar Hollywood buzz-phrase “Let’s do lunch,” where the dynamics of the power-lunch are chewed over with a hearty appetite.
