"Hollywood has certainly been skewered by some talented writers, but Aram Saroyan's probing, funny glimpse into that unique universe can stand with the best of them."
—Publishers Weekly                              in a review of Aram Saroyan's latest book,
ARTISTS IN TROUBLE.

Aram Saroyan's first play, AT THE BEACH HOUSE, takes us even deeper into the movie-star world that, as the son of writer William Saroyan and the stepson of Walter Matthau, the playwright came to know first hand in his own family. The play will receive its world premiere in 2005 in Los Angeles.

AT THE BEACH HOUSE charts a day in the life of the extended family of an aging movie star and his wife, Clyde and Wanda Harrow, at their second home in Malibu. The action focuses on Wanda's thirtysomething daughter, Angela, who is staying at the house, and the effort of friends and family to get her into rehab. Orson Bean heads up an ensemble cast of ten.

Saroyan's insider knowledge of the scene and its players informs an unforgettable family portrait in a play by turns harrowing and funny. Indeed, Saroyan's beach house may well become a permanent fixture of the theatrical landscape of Hollywood.
