The play starts on the morning of an opening of a Broadway show in which Cornelia Otis Skinner is the star. Her day starts quietly, but soon swirling around her are the characters who make her little world begin to spin until she becomes the center of a wind storm. The characters are her nervous husband, a hystrical woman friend, her son, who has 4 girls on his mind, a diffcult theatre critic, a playwright, an irate maid, two fans, and a TV crew. Hilarity ensues!
