Rhombus Denied

Former playwright and current high school drama teacher Dante Russo gets word that his friend and mentor is on his deathbed. Jacques Martre had always been an inspiration to him and over the years they had established a very strong friendship. Knowing that he doesn't have much time, he travels to Paris to visit his dying friend. Jacques leaves Dante something special - an original manuscript of a play called Rhombus Denied - a production that had always caused near riots whenever it was attempted to be performed and had the distinction of never being performed in it's entirety because of that. Along with the blessing of Jacques's wife Margot, Dante returns to New York with the idea of putting on the play and getting back into what was always his first true love - the theater. But times and sensibilities have changed and Dante soon realizes that current audiences may not be as enthusiastic about the work as he is. Has the past returned to haunt the present?
