Tony Kirby, the son of a successful businessman, falls in love with Alice Sycamore and brings his parents to dine at the Sycamore home– a home with a fireworks factory in the basement, a printing press and a terrarium with snakes in the parlor, an ex-grand Duchess earning her living as a waitress, and a grandfather who doesn’t believe in the income tax. At first, the Sycamore family seems mad. But if they are mad, the rest of the world is madder! The play was the winner of the 1937 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
