Well, I've now read this twice and watched the 1973 film with Jack Lemmon/Walter Mathau/Susan Sarandon in addition to watching HIS GIRL FRIDAY, which is an adaptation of the lead character as a woman (Rosalind Russell in that role).

I have lots of books from the 1920s I'm

College production 1987. I was Jennie the cleaning woman.

DNF at p.23. The n--- word, casual references to domestic violence, constant jabbering. I realize the banter and chaos is supposed to represent a bunch of reporters killing time waiting for an execution to happen, but it just gave me a headache. No future for this one. Too bad because the movie was fun and the set is an octagonal press room at the criminal courts building. We've never done that one!

Synopsis: twice a movie. A comedic play about an escaped murderer set in a news room. Reporter Hildy hides him in a desk to get the scoop.

I'm not sure what the point of this play is. It didn't seem to know if it was a comedy, a drama, or a farce. I didn't find any of the characters remotely likable or relatable, and about half of them were completely superfluous to the plot. I simply didn't get it.
