JUST A RUMOR
by Gary Lyons and Doug DeVita
Based on an idea by Gary Lyons
Rosalynne Buchanan and Graham Harris are two Hollywood legends whose dynamic on-screen chemistry sparked an off-screen affair lasting 25 years. In 1968, a few weeks after completing their latest film together, Graham dies in the early hours of the morning in the house they both share. Rosalynne, aka Ross, has no choice but to inform Graham’s wife Lesley of his death. What happens when Ross and Lesley meet for the first time is the premise of Just A Rumor, a play that explores the nature of love, celebrity, gossip, truth, and how to get a dead movie star out of the kitchen.

About the Playwrights
Doug DeVita is a playwright whose work has been described as “darkly funny,” “emotionally sharp,” and occasionally “too real.” His blacker-than-black comedy Goddess Of The Hunt recently won a BroadwayWorld Regional Award for Best Play. He’s a two-time O’Neill Semi-Finalist and has collected a modest pile of semi-finalist laurels and a few shiny Fresh Fruit Awards along the way. His work has been produced coast to coast (plus London!), developed by the Kennedy Center (back when it was still “woke”), and are published by Next Stage Press and Smith & Kraus. He’s a proud member of the Dramatists Guild and even prouder when people spell his name right.
