Kaufman and Edna Ferber , made its Broadway debut 82 years ago, in 1927. The story is based on the Barrymore clan and the only Barrymore I know is Drew . Well, the Manhattan Theatre Club revival of this three-act play is anything but a musty period...

Priestley; and The Fifth Column , by Ernest Hemingway. The specialty of the Mint Theater Company —unearthing “worthwhile...

By Josh R If you believe what you see on television – particularly during commercial breaks – you might be inclined to think that growing older is just one great big piece of heart-smart, low-cholesterol cake. Age is Just a Number and/or a State of Mind, and with the right battery of hormones and a fridge chock full of Activia, late middle-age can be one long, soft-focus stroll along the...

The new Manhattan Theatre Club revival of the 1927 George S. Kaufman-Edna Ferber comedy "The Royal Family" has the critics bowing down. "The Royal Family" is a sly satire of the fabled Barrymore acting clan. This acclaimed production is sure to be among the four nominees for best play revival at June's Tony Awards.

From Aristophanes onwards, playwrights have pictured the stage as violent, redemptive or shallow – but which of them is right? One doesn't like to quibble with Shakespeare, but I'm not certain all the world's a stage. (Or maybe I merely lack the poetic soul to perceive a visit to the supermarket or the Department of Motor Vehicles as properly dramatic.) And yet, this autumn, New York theatre...

" Come and Get It " ( Howard Hawks , William Wyler , Richard Rosson * 1936) Edna Ferber 's novel was purchased by Samuel L. Goldwyn to turn into a Hollywood blockbuster and Howard Hawks hired to direct.
