Dorothy Parker Pilot

Synopsis:

“The Invention of Nonsense” is a hilarious and heartbreaking period comedy-drama about author and smart-ass Dorothy Parker and her glib Algonquin Round Table pals as they battle personal and professional demons to become among the most famous, influential and quoted trend-setters of the raucous Roaring Twenties. But how is it that some of the wittiest wisecrackers in history still struggled to find happiness, contentment, and true human connection? Whether they admit it or not, this is the challenge they share, meeting almost daily over lunch or bootleg cocktails to hash it all out with their caustic quips and clever conversation, before returning to their typewriters for New York’s top newspapers, magazines and Broadway hits.
