This farce that takes place in a glorious Manhattan penthouse owned by the Maestro Vito De Angelis and his wife, the opera diva Raquel De Angelis. The young ghostwriter, Robert Samson has been attempting for weeks to write the autobiography of the Maestro. To Robert’s frustration, the Maestro is constantly late to interviews or making up stories about his love life.

The Maestro even mocks Robert for not having a girlfriend. In fact, the main reason that Robert stays on the project is because he is obsessed with the Maestro’s opera singer wife.

Meanwhile, the Maestro feels that he deserves nothing less than Ernest Hemmingway writing his biography. Orchestrating the chaos of the De Angelis house are their strict and loyal manservants, Bruce and Eric.

Sparks fly, silverware is thrown and romance blossoms in the most unexpected ways in this delightful and hilarious romantic comedy.
