Author! Author! (1982)

Synopsis: A playwright is left by his wife; she leaves her many children with him. He has also one of his own. He is beginning the production of his play.

Appraisal: The text, although a bit uneven, has some enjoyable moments and succeeds at showing some aspects of modern life like parenting and divorce, and the particulars of the profession of playwright. The direction is really perfect, ensuring that every actor, including the little ones, is very much at ease in every scene.

Rating: 50
