[[File:EntertainmentHead.png|thumb|right|The cover for the ''Entertainment'' script.]]
It is also the name of a play directed by [[James B. Carrington]], with adaptation by [[Joseph Wheattree]] of two original plays, ''A Reckoning'' and ''A Bar-fly'' (both written by [[Lem Doolittle]]), to be performed simultaneously. The setting was designed by [[Lula Chamberlain]].
The "brick sandwich" on the Bar-fly's table is in reference to a circumvention of [[wikipedia:Raines law|Raines law]], a prohibition-era law outlawing the sale of alcohol on Sunday except for in hotels (the setting of both ''The Entertainment'' and Eugene O'Neill's [[wikipedia:The Iceman Cometh|The Iceman Cometh]]). Some bar owners would mock the law by serving a clay brick between two slices of bread, thus satisfying the minimal legal requirement of serving food.
