Description
Winston Marks's story, printed in Imagination in April 1958, follows a playwright whose scripts are smash hits because they are real. Its sidenote says his scripts were smash hits because they had realism: he was reliving every scene and emotion in them. The narrator, producer, needs a play, when every playwright is in France, Hollywood, or a slump.
He asks Ellie to bring the unknown to his office with a contract ready. When she announces him, his door bangs open and a youngster in jeans, a sweatshirt, and a stubbly crew cut pops in like a wayward champagne cork. The producer tries to send him away, saying he has an interview now and they are not casting yet. I am your interview, the youngster announces: I am Hillary Hardy, and your girl said you would see me. Readers get a story of a playwright who relives his plays.
