Zambesi Glen is an exclusive Northern California retreat where, for one week a year, the world's richest white men cut loose like frat boys. But times are changing at this hallowed institution. For the first time ever, the female loved ones of the members are given one day where they are allowed to tour the premises. Six weeks later, the Glen's five days of revelry begin. The guests include an industrial bigwig (Henry Gibson), a lawyer (John Michael Higgins), a powerful banker (Robert Mandan), a university chancellor (Michael McKean), an air force general (George Wendt), and entertainers Alan Thicke and Peter Marshall (as themselves), among others. As these men go about their business of drinking, whoring, and preparing a stage show, they find that somehow, some embarrassing Polaroids of their proceedings have made their way to a local newsroom. An enterprising young waiter at the retreat offers to videotape the Glen's distinguished members conducting their secret business for the same news program, thus further threatening the future of this institution which allows powerful men to act in ways that could damage their high profile images. Harry Shearer has assembled a distinguished comedically talented cast for this production--which he wrote, produced, directed, and appears in. Basing Zambesi Glen on a real institution in California (Bohemian Grove), Shearer takes potshots at the old-boy network of wealthy white men who run America's institutions with a witty script that makes a statement while still allowing itself to be occasionally scatological and nonsensical.
