Kaufman can easily lay claim to its smiling counterpart. No other comic dramatist in America has enjoyed more popular success & perennial influence or been more fortunate in his choice of collaborators, who included George & Ira Gershwin, Moss Hart, Irving Berlin, & the Marx Brothers. Here, in the most comprehensive collection of his plays ever assembled, are 9 classics: his uproarious "backstage" play "The Royal Family" (1927, written with Edna Ferber); the Marx Brothers-inspired mayhem of "Animal Crackers" (1928, w/ Morrie Ryskind) in a version discovered in Groucho Marx's papers & published here for the first time; "June Moon" (1929, w/ Ring Lardner), a hilarious look at a young composer trying to make it big on Tin Pan Alley; "Once in a Lifetime" (1930, w/ Moss Hart), one of the first & best satires of Hollywood; Pulitzer Prize winners "Of Thee I Sing" (1931, w/ Morrie Ryskind & Ira Gershwin) & "You Can't Take It with You" (1936, w/ Moss Hart); "Dinner at Eight" (1932, w/ Edna Ferber), a tart ensemble piece that mixes comedy & melodrama; "Stage Door" (1936, w/ Edna Ferber), his much-loved story about young actresses trying to make it big in New York City; & "The Man Who Came to Dinner" (1939, w/ Moss Hart), an unforgettable burlesque of America's cult of celebrity. Bursting with vernacular wit, farcical ingenuity, & theatrical panache, these plays have remained beloved favorites & exuberant reminders of Broadway in its glory days. * ABOUT THE EDITOR: Laurence Maslon is an associate arts professor at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts & a former associate artistic director at Arena Stage in Washington, D.C. He was senior consultant & co-writer for 2 episodes of the 6-part PBS series "Broadway: The American Musical" as well as coauthoring w/ Michael Kantor the companion volume for the documentary. * THE LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts. Hailed as "the most important book-publishing project in the nation's history" (Newsweek), this acclaimed series is restoring America's literary heritage in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting edition ever made" (New Republic).
