Barrymore (play)
''Barrymore'' is a two-person play by William Luce which depicts John Barrymore a few months before his death in 1942 as he is rehearsing a revival of his 1920 Broadway triumph as '' Richard III''. Barrymore's attempted revival of his ''Richard III'' never actually took place and was a device that was invented for the play, but it served as a dramatic framework for the actor to reminisce about various episodes in his life and about his career downslide due to alcoholism.Sommer, Elys"A CurtainUp Review:'Barrymore'"curtainup.com, accessed October 30, 2011 Though classified as a one-person play, ''Barrymore'' actually makes frequent use of a second character, Frank the stage manager, who interacts with Barrymore over the theatre loudspeaker.
