Three Plays: The Man Who Came to Dinner / Once in a Lifetime / You Can't Take It with You (Methuen Modern Plays)

It s 1929 as The Jazz Singer hits the silver screen and the talkies promise to change movies forever. Enter three down-and-out vaudevillians who hatch a hare-brained scheme to make it big in Tinsel Town. Their plan? To open a voice academy for the witless stars of silent movies. The only things standing in their way are ditzy starlets and power-hungry movie moguls. Directed by Moss Hart s son, this is top-of-the-bill screwball comedy and Kaufman and Hart genius at its very best.
