synopsis
June Havoc was famously ambivalent about the musical Gypsy, and in Fable (which is itself a fable about the creation of that musical fable) a mounting battle takes place in rehearsal rooms, dressing rooms, onstage, and backstage as she struggles with fiction and truth in order to keep her own legacy alive.
"I think it is absolutely brilliant. It
was fascinating to me because of course I was a part of it, but it's the appeal Gypsy has that Doug capitalized on and brought forth in a very delicious way."
– Lane Bradbury, "Dainty June,"
Gypsy, 1959
