An American Comedy - Richard Nelson - Bog

A mock 1930s farce in which hilarity reigns supreme. "...if you can believe that a play can be part ROOM SERVICE, part Das Capital and part His Girl Friday, you've got the premise of the wildly funny AN AMERICAN COMEDY. The play is such an accurate pastiche of the time, that some audiences have taken it for a genuine comedy written in the thirties. There's so many doors slammed, fires put out, trunks shut, typewriters ruined, disrobings, and darts thrown that at times you think you've wandered into a lost Marx Brothers comedy..."
