A melancholic, witty character study of a forgotten lyricist confronting his obsolescence and personal demons on a night when his former partner triumphs without him.

On the evening of March 31, 1943, legendary lyricist Lorenz Hart confronts his shattered self-confidence in Sardi’s bar as his former collaborator, Richard Rodgers, celebrates the opening night of his ground-breaking hit musical, “Oklahoma!”
