ESSAY ON: Kaufman & Ferber/Depression Comedy & Dinner at Eight

Number of Pages 3

This research paper: A 3 page essay that discusses the classic play by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber. The writer argues that during the Great Depression, comedy provided a surcease from the rigors of daily life (Widner, 1998). However, it was only possible to forget the trouble imposed by the Depression to a certain extent. In their sophisticated comedy, Dinner at Eight, playwrights George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber address the topic of the Depression, but do so by picturing that the economic woes of the country were affecting everyone--even the very rich. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
