NEW YORK (AP) â Paul Rudnick has written a romantic comedy with a royal twist.
In âPlaying the Palace,â the playwright, screenwriter and novelist has a witty, engaging book about two unlikely lovers: A Jewish man from New Jersey and the crown prince of England.
âIâve never written an all-out romantic comedy like this,â says Rudnick, who put the finishing touches to the manuscript during the pandemic. âIt was so much fun to live in that world and to just try a complete celebration without a whole lot of trauma.â
