Accent on Youth - Raphaelson, Samson

Résumé :
Comedy / 6m 3f / InteriorThis play was an outstanding Broadway production of the 1934-35 season. Prefaces by John Anderson and Barrett H. Clark. This is one of the most gracious witty and moving sophisticated comedies which Broadway has seen in some time. Though the author emphasizes his delightful theme rather than the matter of plot the story itself is of the utmost theater value. This has to do with the very civilized attitude of a clever playwright approaching middle-age who not only dares fall in love with a younger woman but stands aside for a time and even helps a young man take his place in the affections of the girl. In the end however the author shows with unmistakable persuasion that age itself has nothing to do with the problem. A thoroughly delightful and sophisticated play for advanced casts....
