It's a thin curtain between theater and life, says one of the actors in Illuminata. And as
the other players in this star-powered, wildly romantic tale will soon discover, it's also a
thin line between love and betrayal, passion and cruelty, fantasy and truth. Set amid the
gaudy decadence of an eccentric theater company, the backstage intrigues begin as the
group mounts a radical new play by the troupe's tormented resident writer. But with
opening night approaching, multiple complications lurk in the wings û as a lascivious critic preys on the
leading man, a washed-up premadonna preys on the playwright and the entire cast plays fast and loose with
everything from the script to each other's spouses. A wondrous, witty, wickedly comic tale.
Featuring audio commentary with director/actor John Turturro and actor Amadeo Turturro.
