Director's Notes
An Interview with Director Katy Brown: 1) How did audiences react when Don't Cry for Me Margaret Mitchell was done as part of last year's Appalachian Festival of Plays and Playwrights? --They went nuts! If audience response was anything like the reading, it will be a hit. People love it, and it may be a show that people talk about for years. 2) How have you been involved in the creative process of this show? --We are working with the mother-son playwrighting team, Duke Ernsberger and Virginia Cate, to streamline the script.more >

Don’t Cry for Me, Margaret Mitchell could easily pass for one of Neal Simon’s best plays such as The Odd Couple or The Sunshine Boys, but it’s by Duke Ernsberger and Virginia Cate, two howlingly whacky playwrights—a mother and son team, no less--that a Goo-Goo Cluster says you’ve never heard of. Instead of premiering in a pricy Broadway venue, however, it’s at the much more reasonably priced Barter Stage II.more > — Robert McKinney, Bristol Herald Courier

Don't Cry for Me Margaret Mitchell
by Duke Ernsberger and Virginia Cate
Hilarious, irreverent and mostly true! It is 1939, and David O. Selznick has already begun filming Gone with the Wind, but he needs a new script. There is only one writer up to the task, the legendary Ben Hecht. The only problem, Hecht has never read the book, and they have only a week to write a new script. So Selznick locks himself, Hecht and director Victor Flemming in his office with the mission to write a screenplay for Gone With the Wind in one week, the book that took Margaret Mitchell ten years to write. You will laugh until you are out of breath at the antics which produce one of the classic movies of all time.
