The Money Shot ― A Play

Karen and Steve are glamorous movie stars with one thing in common: desperation. It’s been years since either one’s had a hit, but the latest movie by a hot-shot European director could change that. The night before filming a big scene (that will undoubtedly assure them a spot back on the pop culture radar), Karen, her partner Bev, Steve, and his aspiring actress wife Missy meet in order to make an important decision: how far will they let themselves go to keep from slipping further down the Hollywood food chain?
Sexy, daring, darkly hilarious?and Neil LaBute’s first officially billed comedy?The Money Shot lands as sharp and hot as a paparazzo’s camera flash in a starlet’s eye.
