Broadway & Musicals Editorial Review
**** The compilation of George Kaufman’s plays has received high praise from readers for its impressive collection and insightful commentary. The anthology features some of Kaufman's most vibrant works, including iconic pieces like "Of Thee I Sing" and the Marx Brothers' classic "Animal Crackers." Audience members have expressed delight at the depth and richness of Kaufman's writing, finding the humor and wit in his plays enduringly relevant, even if some of the works lean towards melodrama. Critics have noted that while the collection lacks character breakdowns—which would further enhance the reader's understanding of the plays—they are willing to overlook this shortcoming due to the extensive biographical information and production history provided. The commentary helps contextualize the works and offers an engaging glimpse into the theatrical landscape of Kaufman’s era. Readers appreciate how Kaufman’s craftsmanship shines through, evoking laughter and critique in equal measure, with plays like "The Man Who Came to Dinner" and "You Can't Take It With You" showcasing both hilarious situations and clever dialogue. However, some caution that context is key, as many of the works are laden with period-specific references that may perplex today’s audiences. Nevertheless, the collection serves as both a nostalgic reminder of the Golden Age of Broadway and a captivating dive into Kaufman's legacy, appealing to both theatre aficionados and casual readers alike. **Pros and Cons:** **
