Lily & Lily
Overview
Lily DaCosta is a Hollywood movie star of the 1930s. Capricious and unbearable, she leads a scandalous life and makes life hell for everyone around her. Then along comes Deborah, her twin sister, a puritanical and shy farmer. The two sisters look so alike that when they swap lives, they lead a crooked journalist, a husband in need of money, greedy servants, and an ex-husband who has escaped from Alcatraz into a whirlwind of hilarious misunderstandings. Created for the stage in 1985 by Jacqueline Maillan, Lily & Lily has become a legend of boulevard theater.
