Synopsis
The Impresario concerns the woes of an impresario, Mr. Scruples, who
must put together a company of actors and singers while dealing with
their whims, rivalries and pretensions. The company faces economic
difficulties which are ultimately solved thanks to the intervention
of Mr. Angel, a banker, who is persuades Scruples to audition Madame
Goldentrill, Mr. Angel's lover. When Scruples is unimpressed, Mr.
Angel introduces his rising star, Ms. Silverpeal, who insists on
auditioning for the leading soprano role. The two ambitious singers
confront Scruples about who the next prima donna will be, while
Bluff attempts to reconcile matters. In the end, it is determined
that art can thrive only through the peaceable cooperation of all
their strengths.
