Hurly-burly is an adaptation of David Rabe's well known play about the intersecting lives of several Hollywood players and wannabes who's personal lives threaten to veer into a catastrophe more interesting than anything they're peddling to the studios.
The title (meaning "noisy confusion" or "tumult") is derived from dialogue in Act I, Scene I of Shakespeare's play Macbeth:
* First Witch: "When shall we three meet again / In thunder, lightning, or in rain?"
* Second Witch: "When the hurlyburly's done, / When the battle's lost and won."
