ROLE PLAY

It's the 1950's , the Golden Age of Broadway. Jenny, an aspiring young actor, throws herself into a volatile affair with an ambitious director, despite his warning that theatre is his "favorite mistress." Abandoned by him when she's pregnant, Jenny gives birth to a girl. Within hours the baby is spirited away by an unknown couple. A desperate Jenny vows to find her child no matter how long it takes. At the same time she fights for a place in the competitive world of theatre. But when tragedy strikes, she flees from Broadway and becomes a suburban wife, sacrificing her greatest passion for the twin lures of love and safety. Yet always pulling her in another direction is the stage she still craves. Neither her audiences nor her loving husband suspect Jenny's secret life: "visits" with the daughter she never forgets. This obsession will shape her life in a way no theatre or lover can. Written by a former actor, the book features authentic backstage scenes of off-Broadway and TV in their infancy.
