Condensed Night

Hurlyburly is a 1998 independent comedy-drama film directed by Anthony Drazan and based on the 1984 play of the same name by David Rabe, who adapted it for the screenplay. The film is about the intersecting lives of several Hollywood players and wannabes. Rabe condensed the action of his play—over 3 hours long—into two hours and updated the setting from the mid-1980s to the late 1990s.
