...vast old movie palace sat on the Atlantic City boardwalk like an aging burlesque queen living on a Minsky pension. Fading nudes hung in the garish foyer; tired stars peeled off the blue-sky ceiling. The place was so big that a dusty curtain divided it in half, and on the working side there were still 1,310 seats. It was hardly the setting for an intimate, sophisticated new drama: Dear Liar, an adaptation by Actor Jerome Kilty of the famed letters between George Bernard Shaw and Victorian Actress Stella (Mrs. Patrick) Campbell.

Low and relatively compact, the two-story white stucco house is built around a patio. Downstairs is a foyer lit with a mammoth bronze lantern, a drawing room paved with black and white Spanish tiles, a spacious living room with bleached mahogany walls stained silver-grey, a bar and a Formica-walled kitchen with built-in rotisserie. Upstairs are another living room and eight bedrooms-including...
