The Man Who Came to Dinner by George S. Kaufman, Moss Hart
The Man Who Came to Dinner...and stayed and stayed and stayed! Sheridan Whiteside, the man who came to dinner, throws out insults with a voluminous precision volley. Maggie Cutler, his secretary, is described by Whiteside as an aging debutante supporting her two-headed brother.
Hailed by critics as one of the funniest plays to ever hit Broadway, The Man Who Came to Dinner is, according to Brooks Atkinson of the New York Times "A portrait done out of relish for the bountiful mischief and sharp tongue..." and a hilarious parody and caricature of the famous wit, Alexander Woollcott.
