Meet the most famous forgotten actor-couple in theater history, The Lunts, Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne. This fast-paced new comedy/drama covers their extraordinary partnership, from the 1920s through World War II, to the opening night of The Visit on Broadway in 1958. Friend Laurence Olivier gave them the nickname "The Celestials" and Cole Porter's musical Kiss Me Kate was inspired by their offstage battles.

Actor-playwright Mark E. Lang co-stars with his wife Alison Murphy in this entertaining new play exploring the Lunt's lives and careers, with cameos by Olivier, Noel Coward, and Marlon Brando.
