Winner of the
1997 Tony Award for Best Play, and written by the Pulitzer Prize-winning
author of Driving Miss Daisy, The Last Night of Ballyhoo is a charming
and bittersweet comedy set in Atlanta on the eve of World War II.
It’s Christmas, 1939. Gone With the Wind is having its world
premiere and Hitler is invading Poland. Meanwhile, a segment of
Atlanta’s Jewish elite is more concerned with who will be attending
Ballyhoo, the social event of the season. The arrival of a handsome
stranger from New York forces the Freitag family to deal with who
they really are as they are pulled apart and mended again with plenty
of gentle comedy, sweet romance, and unexpected turns.
