WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The 1940's comedy about a crude tycoon who brings his showgirl-mistress to Washington D.C. where he hopes to 'buy' a few congressmen with her charms. Unfortunately, her social and intellectual ignorance becomes a hindrance to his business prospects, so he hires a journalist to give her a crash course in history, politics and literature. Properly educated and presentable, she recognizes the crook for what he is worth and falls in love with her tutor

Plus, the absence of chicanery in Washington might render obsolete Born Yesterday, Garson Kanin's slyly seditious and still incisive 1946 satire about backroom wheeling and dealing now at the Cape Playhouse under Pamela Hunt's snappy direction.
And if that happened, we might not have the thrill of watching a crack performer like Leslie Kritzer tackle the so-dumb-she's-brilliant role of Billie Dawn.
