The intoxication of fame... the rapid, swirling business of being SOMEBODY in the Big Apple... the temptation of luxuries... and the underlying quest to find oneself when the next big thing leaves you out in the cold... These are just some of the themes of As Bees in Honey Drown, a delicious, decidedly metropolitan comedy. When the success of small town Evan Wyler's debut novel throws him suddenly into the decadent New York scene, he latches onto the beguiling Alexa Vere de Vere, a sort of modern-day Sally Bowles, hoping to sustain his new status by completing a screenplay of her fabulous life story. But just who is Alexa, really? It's a question that will baffle Evan as he remembers her words: "You're not the person you were born—who wonderful is?"

Audition information:
As Bees In Honey Drown is a satirical comedy by Douglas Carter Beane about the pitfalls of the unquenchable hunger for fame. Alexa Vere de Vere, a flashy fast-talker who captivates and takes advantage of hapless budding artists, has a new target: Evan Wyler, an aspiring New York writer. Alexa meets with Evan, asking him if he will write a screenplay based on her glamorous life story. She promises him fame and fortune in return. Evan's trust soon gives way to suspicion and the tables soon turn with sweet revenge.
