The Man Who Came to Dinner

What do young love, ex-convicts, penguins, an octopus, 10,000 cockroaches, strange visitors remarkably like Noel Coward and Harpo Marx, and a mummy case have in common? Sheridan Whiteside! Based on Alexander Woolcott, the most irascible critic and celebrity of his day, Whiteside is the one of a kind title character. This classic comedy by Kaufman and Hart (who also wrote You Can’t Take It With You) stars the incomparable James Whitmore as Whiteside.
