So, this is slightly unusual in that this meetup is for a play rather than a film.

However, it sounds fascinating so I hope some of you can join me.

It's a new play about the later life of Louise Brooks, one of most luminous stars of the silent era. It apparently examines the reasons she quit acting after a career lasting only 13 years, her disenchantment with Hollywood and her deep suspicion of the fame game.
