You Can't Take It With You

Laugh heartily and sigh deeply at one of the funniest comedies of the ages. You Can’t Take It With You, by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, remains as insightful and delightful as when it opened in 1936. Tony, the attractive young son of the unhappily, affluent Kirbys, falls in love with Alice and brings his parents to dine at her joyous, quirky family home. In a house where you do as you like, no questions asked – the Kirbys encounter the open circle of family and friends – novel novelist, devoted dancer, ballet master, ex-Grand Duchess waitress, amateur printer, tax evaders, society shirkers and free thinkers. The evening explodes into hysterical and all too real fireworks.
