In the Eyes of God

the long version

""There's no business like show business," and if you ever had any doubt about that, In the Eyes of God will bring you back to your senses. A vicious, vulgar, unsparing and grotesque look at the talent agencies that remake the Hollywood stars and tabloid personalities out of the willing clay of their own flesh, the greed, avarice and banality laid bare in this play would be horrifying if it weren't so funny, and laughter is our only defense when somewhere deep down in what's left of our souls we know this portrait of rank, speculative, self-interested capitalism to be true." "What is being fought over in this ultimate exercise of greed versus avarice is the promise of a dream - a dream of riches, fame, success and public adulation everyone is willing to pay for, to offer their bodies for, to sacrifice their loved ones for, to die for. If the corporate hedonism of America that gave us Robert Milliken, Gordon Gecko and Enron is reflected in the eyes of God, then those eyes are made, as we might have suspected, of celluloid."--BOOK JACKET.
