“The Wisdom of Eve” is a tale of ambition, jealousy, and fame in New York’s theater world. Adapted from the story by Mary Orr, on which the film All About Eve and the hit musical Applause were based, “The Wisdom of Eve” is an engrossing story of an unscrupulous ingenue’s rise to Broadway stardom. When we first meet Eve Harrington, she is standing in the rain by the stage door of the theater in which the renowned Margo Crane is starring in her latest long-run hit. Before you know it, she’s inveigled Margo’s best friend, Karen, to get her an invitation to meet the great actress herself. From there, it’s a short step for the clever Eve to become Margo’s personal secretary and then her understudy. Did we mention blackmail? Yes, that’s in there, too! Eve is determined to achieve Broadway stardom and then a Hollywood career, no matter what, even if it means leaving the wreckage of her friends’ trust behind her.
The Lord Stirling Theater Company is at Farmstead Arts Center, 450 King George Road, Basking Ridge, NJ 07920, Basking Ridge, NJ.
