Jason Miller Price: $8.00
Barrymore`s Ghost opens up the life of the legendary actor
John Barrymore in a unique, theatrical manner
Mr John Barrymore, or Jack Barrymore or Jake Barrymore, is presented as a ghost haunting an unknown theater which, at the moment, is in rehearsal for a play
The gods have sentenced Barrymore to this purgatorial existence as penance for his abandonment of the theater and the squandering of his talents in the pursuit of fame, greed and dissipation
Barrymore disputes these assertions of the gods as he painfully and humorously examines the spectrum of his life. He chronicles his ascendancy to the throne as the finest classical actor of his generation and his arrival to the pinnacle of movie stardom
Continuing with his intimate and compassionate relationships to his sister, Ethel, and his brother, Lionel; and the explosive debacles of his four marriages
The play has wit, terror, agony and hope, as we watch a mythological
character explore the truths and deceptions of his extraordinary life
