Three Comedies

by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber

Book Overview

Edna Ferber and George S. Kaufman inebriated America during the Prohibition Twenties, then made everyone forget the Depression in the Thiries via gales of sophisticated laughter. The dynamic playwriting duo created three smash hits together: The Royal Family (1927) - Dinner at Eight (1932) - and Stage Door (1936. All three plays were promptly made by Hollywood into equally famous films - Dinner at Eight with Jean Harlow; Stage Door with a young Katharine Hepburn and Lucille Ball; and the Royal Family of Broadway with Frederic March.

Wonderful collection

I am a fan of both authors, Edna Ferber and George S. Kaufman. They wrote beautiful plays together that are particularly charming! Royal Family is a great play that I am currently in as the character Gwen so I have explored the show quite well. I highly recommend this collection of plays to anyone who enjoys humor and drama! Thanks for reading :)
