DRAMATURG’S NOTES The Man Who Came Dinner got its start in the mid-1930s, when Alexander Woollcott (famed radio personality and theatre critic who often invited and delivered mockery) showed up - unannounced - at Moss Hart’s Bucks County estate and generally acted like Sheridan Whiteside. On his way out, he wrote in Hart’s guest book, “This is to certify that I had one of the most unpleasant times I ever spent.” As Kaufmann and Hart were both laughing about it, Hart remarked that he was lucky Woollcott had not broken his leg and become stuck there. Kaufman looked at Hart and the idea was born. Dorothy Parker (famous critic, poet, screenwriter, and very dear friend of “Aleck”) said of Woollcott: “He has seven or eight hundred intimate friends, with all of whom he converses only in terms of atrocious insult.” This is clearly evident in the way Kaufman and Hart have portrayed him through the character of Whiteside. From the premiere of The Man Who Came to Dinner in 1939 to the present day, George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart’s comedy continues to make audiences laugh. While the play is perhaps not the first of its kind to exaggerate and “poke fun” at famous people, the production was definitely the first to cast the same people into the very roles written so cleverly about them. In 1940, Alexander Woollcott - as well as Harpo Marx, of the Marx Brothers - toured the West Coast in The Man Who Came to Dinner playing the roles of Sheridan Whiteside (Woollcott) and Banjo (Harpo Marx). Like the inspiration for The Man Who Came to Dinner, Kaufman and Hart’s comedy displays a sharp but unique combination of innocence and ruthlessness, as well as bite and heart.
