Sheridan Whiteside, a famously cranky but beloved radio celebrity, slips on the ice after attending dinner at an Ohio home. Forced to recuperate in place with a broken hip, he proceeds to turn that home upside down with an egomaniac’s glee.
The Man Who Came to Dinner is a brilliantly witty comedy by two of the greatest writers of the American stage, George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. It’s filled with delightful characters, romantic intrigue, penguins, movie stars, and as many wicked insults as can be crammed into two rollicking hours.
