 ON BROADWAY AT THE
FRIEDMAN THEATRE
The Play
It's half past one in the afternoon at the fabulously cluttered Cavendish duplex in the East Fifties, and anyone who's anyone is still asleep. So begins The Royal Family, the classic comedy of theatrical manners, written by two of the theatre's greatest writers, George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber, whose other storied collaborations include Dinner at Eight and Stage Door.
Follow a famous family of stage stars as they go about the drama of the day: choosing scripts, dashing off to performances, stealing kisses from handsome beaus. But what's this business about the youngest diva wanting to quit the stage for domestic bliss? Never, darling! Doug Hughes (Doubt) directs a fantastic cast in this insightful, witty and moving valentine to the theatre. |
