Gutenberg, Johann. "German printer born around the year 1400. Detailed records of his life and work are scant." Or so the audience is told by the fictional playwrights Doug Simon and Bud Davenport, based on their internet research. With what little info they do know about the inventor of the printing press, the fictional friends write and compose Gutenberg! The Musical! (through May 17th at ArtsWest, Wed.-Sat., 7:30 p.m., Sun., 3 p.m. [no show on Mother’s Day, May 10] tix $32, $10 under 25), filling in the missing details of his life with what they charitably call "historical fiction." Scott Brown and Anthony King originally developed the show in 2005 at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York City. more ›
