Synopsis
From the press release: Georgie, the
Country Girl, Georgie, is married to a once great theater
star, Frank Elgin. Now down on his luck, Frank is offered the chance
to make a major comeback by young, hotshot director Bernie Dodd. The
pressures created by a high stakes out-of-town tryout bring into
dramatic focus the complicated relationship between husband and
wife. Life backstage becomes an emotional and psychological
battleground for all three characters
