Can You Ever Forgive Me? by Ian Mcdonald
Rosemary Drama Group

Lee Israel took New York by storm with her Hollywood biographies. Then it all crashed. Jobless, penniless, a massive vet bill for her beloved cat tipped her to crime as a forger of celebrity letters. Dorothy Parker, Noel Coward, Humphrey Bogart: she faked them all. And raked it in. But suspicions circled, and the FBI was closing in. Outrageous, hilarious, touching and true-ish. Can you ever forgive her?
