Back to Plays Done
Play Name | The Man Who Came to Dinner |
Year | 1943 |
Plot | The Man Who Came to Dinner is a comedy in three acts by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. The play is set in the small town of Mesalia, Ohio in the weeks leading to Christmas in the late 1930s. The exposition reveals that the famously outlandish New York City radio wit Sheridan Whiteside ('Sherry' to his friends) is invited to dine at the house of the well-to-do factory owner Ernest W. Stanley and his family. But before Whiteside can enter the house, he slips on a patch of ice outside the Stanleys' front door and injures his hip. Hey is then confined to the Stanleys' home for the next month and looked after by a whole bunch of characters. |
Summary | This was Theatre Group’s first official big hit. It did well enough for them to fill up an 800-1000 seater auditoriums on regular basis for a long period of time. After the success of The Man Who Came to Dinner, Theatre Group also began to receive more Producers who were willing to invest in their new work. |
