Synopsis:
Marcus Thompson’s dark showbiz satire tells the story of Frank Freebie and his accountant Lloyd Deacon who decide to put on a musical show in London as part of an ill-conceived money laundering scheme. “Hollywood Daze” by Warner Dexter, who used to be somebody in Hollywood, with Mimi Samuels, a fast fading star well past her prime, as the leading lady, seems to be the show they are looking for. It is also a chance for the untrained, untried, untested Richard Howell, son of one of the misguided backers, to get into show business. but a fateful encounter between Howell and an irascible Genie jeopardises the show and shatters Howell’s life. The bigger part he wished for becomes too much for him to handle…
