Hot Java, The Singing Llama - A local showbiz farce

When Isaac Plovnick and Jake Miller, two B-film producers from Somerville are approached by wealthy Ira “Come on Down” Melnick about making a movie with fading diva Jacqui Winston, their hopes of adapting King Lear are put on hold while Jacqui develops new and unpredictable script ideas of her own. In an attempt to rein her in Isaac and Jake hire Audrey Darling, a young, savvy whip smart assistant. Their plan backfires when Audrey rewrites the script bringing changes Jacqui loves. With Ira’s encouragement Audrey and Jacqui continue adding increasingly outlandish story ideas to the script (including a singing llama). As the start of filming approaches, Isaac and Jake must let Jacqui and Audrey have their way or watch Ira’s money evaporate.
