THE STORY: The regal Joshua Maynard, the old and ailing head of Joshua Maynard Books, a mid-sized, family-owned book-publishing house in New York City, must name a successor. One faction in the house backs a smart, "pragmatic" manager, the other faction a smart, "sensitive" editor. Each faction fears what the other man could do to this house - and to them. And, it proves, they are both right to fear. Meantime the bankers have their own ideas and so does Josh's daughter.
"If Kaufman and Hart had undertaken a comedy about the publishing business, they might have written ENDPAPERS
a breathlessly fast, funny, and thoughtful comedy
as good at characterization as at repartee; keeps you amused, guessing, and often surprised; and emerges almost profound in its empathy for the paradoxes of human nature." - NY Magazine. "ENDPAPERS offers an exciting and dramatic glimpse of the personalities, idealisms and practicalities of the world of publishing." - NY Post. "
a sophisticated, literate, well-made play, a first-class entertainment. There may not be a more involving or more satisfying drama in town right now." - NYTheatre.com.
