ABOUT THE PLAY
This was the inspiration for the 1950s film All About Eve, and the musical Applause. Margo Crane is a big star on Broadway. She never suspects that Eve, the quiet, mousy girl who worms her way into Margo’s confidence is actually an aspiring actress prepared to run over anyone who stands in her way. This play is an engrossing and revealing ‘inside’ story of life in New York’s theatre world.
