Fireworks (play)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fireworks is a set of three one-act plays about American life by Jon Swan. The set includes the plays The Report, Football, and Fireworks For a Hot Fourth. The work premiered Off-Broadway at the Village South Theatre on June 11, 1969 where it ran for a total of seven performances.[1]
The Report is a commentary on the American Press. It follows two characters: Meg Lehmann, a journalist, and Ben Bran, a celebrated writer. Meg cons her way into an interview with Ben which develops into a game of cat and mouse with both trying to manipulate the other. The original production starred Monica Moran as Meg and Stephen Joyce as Ben.[1]
