Legendary producer David O. Selznick has shut down production of his new epic, Gone with the Wind, a film adaption of Margaret Mitchell's novel. The screen play just doesn't work. Selznick sends for screenwriter Ben Hecht and pulls director Victor Fleming from the set of The Wizard of Oz. Summoning them both to his office, he locks the doors, closes the shades, and on a diet of bananas and peanuts, the three men labor over five days. You won't want to miss this hilarious tour de force as three men act out each role of the blueprint for the most successful and beloved film of all time! The show runs through April 29th.
