"it's a thin curtain between theater and life", says one fo the actors in "illuminata". and as the other players in this star-powered, wildly romantic tale will soon discover, it's also a thin line between love and betrayal, passion and cruelty, fantasy and truth. set amid the gaudy decadence of an accentric theater company, the backstage intrigues begin as the group mounts a radical new play by the troupe's tormented resident writer. but with opening night approaching, multiple complications lurk in the wings - as a lascivious critic preys on the leading man, a washed-up prima donna preys on the playwright and the entire cast plays fast and loose with everything from the script to other's spouses. a wondrous, witty, wickedly comic tale.
