“The End of the Tour” documents the final five days of David Foster Wallace’s 1996 book tour for his epic 1,079-page novel “Infinite Jest” by ambitious Rolling Stone reporter David Lipsky.

Jason Segel is Wallace and Jesse Eisenberg is Lipsky. They chat about a variety of subjects, the most interesting of which is how reclusive Wallace has tried to adjust to his sudden fame and celebrity.

Not so coincidentally, Lipsky’s own first novel, “The Art Fair,” was just published when he convinced his Rolling Stone editor (Ron Livingston) that he felt a genuine kinship with Wallace, although what comes across in his profile is a curiously intoxicating combination of envy and adulation.

Lipskey journeyed to Bloomington, Indiana, to meet Wallace in his ranch-style home. They go to a bookstore and do a Minneapolis-based publicity jaunt, where Joan Cusack is their no-nonsense driver.

“Love & Money,” which previewed in late July and earlier this month at the Westport Country Playhouse, tonight celebrated its official opening night performance at New York’s Signature Theatre, 480 W. 42nd St. Created by playwright A.R. Gurney (r) and directed by Playhouse Artistic Director Mark Lamos (l) and starring Maureen Anderman, the comedic play explores the trials of class, family, legacy, and race.  According to Gurney, “Love & Money” is the third play he has written that previewed in Westport and moved on to New York theaters. The two others were “Children” in the 1970s and “The Fourth Wall,” in the 1980s. “The Westport Country Playhouse has always been an influential base for my career as a playwright,” Gurney said. “Love & Money” runs through Oct. 4 at the off-Broadway nonprofit venue.
