At the height of the Golden Age of Cinema, starlet Ava Gardner (Elizabeth McGovern) sat for a series of interviews with writer Peter Evans (Aaron Costa Ganis) for him to glean the juicy details about her life story, her marriages to Mickey Rooney, Artie Shaw, and Frank Sinatra, and her turbulent relationship to Howard Hughes. Initially barred from publication, Evans’ account of a bygone era was published twenty-five years later with permission from Gardner’s estate and is now reimagined on stage.
