The Show-Off

In the Roaring Twenties, playwright George Kelly distilled two distinctly different American characteristics into archetypes–one, the eternal dreamer with a shine on his shoes, a twinkle in his eye and a fast tongue ready to talk his way into the big deal; and the polar opposite – the honest, hardworking and practical show-me who never counts the chickens before they hatch. The clash of these archetypes makes The Show-Off an American comedy classic.
