DESCRIPTION:
(from HBO's press release, August 2020) From playwright and screenwriter Paul Rudnick and directed by Jay Roach, HBO's socially distanced comedy COASTAL ELITES debuts SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 12 (8:00-9:30 p.m. ET/PT). The comedic satire tells contemporary stories of characters breaking down and breaking through as they grapple with politics, culture, and the pandemic. Bette Midler (Tony Award winner for Hello, Dolly!), Kaitlyn Dever ("Unbelievable", "Booksmart"), Dan Levy (Emmy nominee for "Schitt's Creek"), Sarah Paulson (Emmy, Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild Award winner for "American Crime Story") and Issa Rae (Emmy nominee for HBO's "Insecure") star in this special presentation that explores our current world of deeply divided politics and the universal pursuit of human connection. Originally conceived for the Public Theater in New York, COASTAL ELITES took the leap from the stage to the screen at the beginning of the pandemic and evolved in real time as the unprecedented events of 2020 unfolded. Filming took place earlier this summer under quarantine guidelines. COASTAL ELITES spotlights five distinct and impassioned points-of-view across the United States. When the shutdown forces these characters to cope in isolation, they react with frustration, hilarity and introspection. |
