Thirty years ago, Benny Silverman’s acting career was nearly destroyed when his friend and colleague, Leo Greshen, "named" him in front of the House Committee on Un-American Activities. The two men haven’t spoken since. Now Benny’s a successful comedian with a posh home in Malibu. Leo, now a sought-after director, hasn’t done badly either. In fact, Leo is in town to direct a hot new play – and Benny’s beloved daughter is in town to star in it. Sit back and relax, you’ve got the best seat in the house.
