"Joan Crawford in....FLESH & BLOOD!" will receive industry readings on May 25th, starring Leslie Becker and James Moye.

In the play, written by Joe Major, Oscar-winner Joan Crawford returns to the big screen in FLESH & BLOOD! a never-before-seen film noir potboiler from 1955 that was so truly awful, the studio canceled its release. Yet Crawford's performance in this 62 year-old bomb is rumored to be "so transcendent" that it's like watching her perform the entire role "live"! Now, thanks to the Yesteryear Film Society's "theatrical" screening of this lost gem, film fans everywhere can finally see Crawford's masterful star turn as Beulah Drake, a New York City house frau who is left by her deadbeat husband to care for their hateful daughter, Trixie. Desperate to give her child a normal upbringing, Beulah unwittingly embezzles money from the Cajun mafia and must ultimately seek refuge within the seedy world of children's television!

"Joan Crawford in...."FLESH & BLOOD!", produced by Wagon Wheel Productions in association with Lyle Saunders, will be presented in two industry readings on May 25th.

The reading stars Leslie Becker (Bonnie and Clyde, Amazing Grace, Anything Goes); KLea Blackhurst (Hazel: Maid in America, Hello Dolly); James Moye (Aladdin, On the 20th Century, Bullets Over Broadway); Peter Gregus (Jersey Boys, Contact); Cassie Silva (Matilda, Rock Of Ages); Jeff Brooks (Bullets Over Broadway, Beauty and the Beast). Musical enhancements are by David John Madore (Carols for a Cure). Stage Manager will be Jason Brouillard. The incomparable Jeff Whiting (Young Frankenstein, Bullets Over Broadway, Big Fish, Scottsboro Boys) will be directing.

Seating is very limited. Contact Ralph Meitzler and Erin Sullivan, Wagon Wheel Productions, at fleshandbloodtheplay@gmail.com.
