The Show-Off by George Kelly (1924) A classic by the American playwright some credit with inventing "the well-made play," The Show-Off has defied time and conventional wisdom by being that rarity, a comedy that is as funny now was when it was first performed, almost a century ago. An ambitious and audacious young faker -also an apparent fool---somehow manages to transform the lives of those around him, at the same time proving that even the most obnoxious of us have their virtues.

Presented by The American Century Theater
