My Dinner with Andre is a passionate, volatile, and humorous encounter
between two friends who have not seen each other for a long time, and
decide to catch up on each others' lives over dinner. Andre Gregory is
an intense, highly experimental theater director and playwright in
search of life's meanings and spiritual revelations. His friend, Wally
Shawn, is an actor and playwright living in New York who is more
preoccupied with the search for his next meal. As Andre recounts his
global journeys involving esoteric theatrical experiments and mystical
adventures, Wally listens with more than skepticism, as his attitudes
shift among wonder, puzzlement, admiration, and anger. What finally
emerges is a sensitive portrait of a friendship that survives and
transcends contransting assumptions about love, death, art, and man's
continuing quest for self-fulfillment.
