  • “An
  • actor
  • is
  • a
  • narcissist
  • but
  • a
  • director
  • is
  • a
  • megalomaniac,”
  • is
  • Hugh
  • Phillips’s
  • reaction
  • to
  • his
  • son’s
  • desire
  • to
  • direct
  • plays
  • rather
  • than
  • go
  • into
  • the
  • family
  • legal
  • business.
  • But
  • Julian
  • will
  • not
  • be
  • deterred;
  • after
  • four
  • years
  • of
  • college,
  • the
  • young
  • graduate
  • affects
  • an
  • air
  • of
  • arrogance
  • and
  • ambition.
  • But
  • under
  • this
  • mask
  • is
  • an
  • insecure,
  • romantic
  • boy
  • whose
  • charm
  • and
  • good
  • looks
  • lead
  • to
  • destructive
  • affairs
  • with
  • women
  • and
  • men.
  • There
  • is
  • the
  • adoring
  • and
  • naïve
  • housemaid;
  • an
  • unhinged
  • “theater
  • groupie”;
  • an
  • ingenuous
  • Southern
  • belle;
  • and
  • an
  • older
  • woman
  • whose
  • involvement
  • with
  • Julian
  • threatens
  • to
  • become
  • an
  • unbearable
  • scandal.
  • When
  • Julian
  • has
  • gone
  • too
  • far,
  • who
  • will
  • stand
  • beside him?
