Mizlansky/Zilinsky

by Jon Robin Baitz

The 2010 Worldplay season, (on the theme of money) continues with this LA Theatre Works’ production recorded in front of a live audience.

Hollywood star Nathan Lane plays a cunning movie producer with a slippery conscience who faces a classic Hollywood dilemma - what happens when the art of the deal turns into a battle for the ultimate double-cross?

Playwright Jon Robin Baitz drew upon years spent in the seedy underbelly of Hollywood to create the hilarious and unsavoury characters in his play, Mizlansky/Zilinsky.

Starring Nathan Lane and Paul Sand, with Harry Shearer, Richard Masur, Rob Morrow, Grant Shaud, Robert Walden, and Kurtwood Smith.

Jon Robin Baitz is an American playwright, television producer and screenwriter, author of nearly a dozen acclaimed plays, including The Substance of Fire and The Paris Letter. He is the creator of the American television series Brothers & Sisters and has written for The West Wing and Alias.

Directed by Ron West.

Producing Director of L.A. Theatre Works - Susan Albert Loewenberg.
