Roman Candle (1960) - repro

Sidney Sheldon’s hilarious mid-century romantic drawing-room comedy farce 'Roman Candle' completed a celebrated original Broadway premiere run at the Cort Theatre in 1960, running for an accomplished commercial residency. The fast-paced farcical plot centers on a buttoned-up army scientist tracking high-stakes ballistic missile engineering metrics, whose stable military world enters a catastrophic crisis when he relocates to a Washington D.C. apartment lot and falls into a forbidden romance with an independent girl possessing extrasensory perception. Directed by David Pressman.
