Set behind the scenes of I Love Lucy, MacLeod's fictional dramatization follows head writer Madelyn Pugh as she navigates the male-dominated television industry, writing and punching up the jokes that helped make the beloved sitcom a hit. Based on Pugh's real-life experiences as one of Hollywood's first female television writers, the play offers a lively and revealing look at the woman who helped open doors for women in the writers' room.
