About the Plot (from invitation): "The Place is the green room, backstage at the Murchison Theatre, an off-Broadway house in New York City. It is late evening on March 12, 1978, and the curtain has recently fallen on the opening night performance of a new production of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. Unfortunately the curtain has fallen with even greater finality on the life of young Barry Wine, an apprentice, student actor. Having missed his final entrance, Wine was found in his dressing cubicle, with an imitation diamond-headed hat pin thrust through his back and into his heart."
