MANUSCRIPT  by Paul Grellong. Directed by Steph Davis.

In the bedroom of a Brooklyn Heights brownstone, three ambitious college students confront the discovery of an unpublished manuscript that can guarantee success. As the bright young things scrap over what to do, their plotting is by turns hilarious and startlingly cruel. This is about fairness, truth, the evils of plagiarism and the absurd things that people will do to succeed in the cutthroat world of publishing.

The twisty and surprising dark comedy about literary ambition and revenge features Paul Breazeale of Mission Viejo as David, Bettina Saam of Tustin as Elizabeth and Matthew Dougherty of Costa Mesa as Chris. (photo credit: Valerie Herring)
