All My Passions--Script Note

We just finished a run of performances of All My Passions, a play by Vin Moreale, in which I played the leading character, Everett Montague.  This is a Script note on that play/performance.

It is about a Soap Opera, All My Passions, and the show is sinking.  The leading man, Everett Montague, has become a liability to the show; 14 leading ladies in total and three of them in short succession.  The director, producer, and new head writer know that he has become a liability. 

Everett tells the producer of a past romance and she makes the connection of Everett to Eleanor, the primary sponsor of the show.  They all know that Everett has to go so Eleanor agrees to do it.

In the last scene, she gently removes Everett from the show. Everett enters the last scene in his costume, a smoking jacket, ascot, and toupee.  He takes them off.  After reuniting with Eleanore he puts on his blazer, which has been hanging on the hall tree for the entire performance from before the first curtain, and exits with Eleanor.  The End

The blazer is symbolic of his presence on the Soap; there until it, like he, is removed at the end.
