We finish our third and final play by Robert Sherwood. We discuss World War II, Finland, and how to keep current events relevant in plays when they are no longer current!.
John is moving to LA! To celebrate that and our 20th episode (!!!) we got together and recorded this together in John's backyard! It was a lot of fun, but the sound quality is not perfect. We hope it adds to the charm.
Josh, Chris, and John discuss the first of three (!!!) Pulitzer Prize-winning plays by Robert Sherwood, "Idiot's Delight." Josh thinks it would be a good musical. John learned a lot. Chris thinks it's dull.
Josh, Chris, and John discuss Zoe Akins' 1935 play "The Old Maid." Along the way we consider expectations of the feminine, the role of casual racism, and Edith Wharton.
