Descriptions, Reviews, etc.

Description: In the most comprehensive collection of Kaufman's plays ever assembled, are nine classics, including his uproarious "backstage" play "The Royal Family" (1927, written with Edna Ferber) and the Marx Brothers-inspired mayhem of "Animal Crackers" (1928, with Morrie Ryskind).

Review Quotes: "The best anthology of American plays that anyone's put out in years." -- Boston Phoenix
