Overview
The play begins outside the North Carolina asylum where Zelda
Fitzgerald is receiving treatment for her mental disorder. She is visited
by her husband, Scott, now reduced to hack writing in Hollywood and
trying desperately to control his drinking. Their meeting is deeply
disturbing for them both, and as Scott realizes that Zelda will never
recover, the action shifts to a series of fl ashbacks which illuminate the
causes of their sad plight. We see them in younger, happier, but
inescapably destructive days—she in a tempestuous aff air with a young
French aviator; he matching wits with an acerbic Ernest Hemingway.
And throughout, the drinking, the wild extravagance, and the steady
erosion of talent and potential. In the end we are back at the hospital,
sure of what must come, but moved by the memory of what once was.
