Gather ye 'round... When Andy's TV show is cancelled, he moves back to
New York to dabble in acting classes and theatre.
But things don't seem to be working out.
Deirdre, his girlfriend of five months (he met her
in acting class) won't sleep with him until she is
sure "he's the one." His realtor Felicia rents
him a gothic retreat (once owned by John
Barrymore) when he prefers modern surroundings.
His agent Lillian gets him the lead in Hamlet in a
Shakespeare-in-the-Park production; a part which
terrifies him. His former TV director has a new,
multi-million job prospect with a ridiculous
premise back in LA. And now the ghost of
Barrymore won't leave him alone. Any wonder why he
hates Hamlet??
