Dorothy Parker Pilot
by Steven Vlasak
Runtime: 60 mins
Cast: 6 females, 6 males
Synopsis:
“The
Invention of Nonsense” is a hilarious and heartbreaking period comedy-drama
about author and smart-ass Dorothy Parker and her glib Algonquin Round Table
pals as they battle personal and professional demons to become among the most
famous, influential and quoted trend-setters of the raucous Roaring Twenties.
But how is it that some of the wittiest wisecrackers in history still struggled
to find happiness, contentment, and true human connection? Whether they admit it
or not, this is the challenge they share, meeting almost daily over lunch or
bootleg cocktails to hash it all out
with their caustic quips and clever conversation, before returning to
their typewriters for New York’s top newspapers, magazines and Broadway hits.
