Wilton Playshop Presents LIFE WITH FATHER, 2/10

By:

The Wilton Playshop presents LIFE WITH FATHER written by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse. The play, based on Clarence Day's book about his father, will play from February 10th through February 18th.

Howard Lindsay and Russel Crouse's Life With Father opened on Broadway on November 8, 1939, and ran for almost EIGHT YEARS, compiling a then mind-boggling 3,224 performances; it is the longest-running non-musical play in Broadway history. Based on Clarence Day's book of autobiographical stories about his father, the play is a picture of New York upper middle class family life in the 1890s, revolving around rambunctious, overburdened Wall Street broker Clarence Day, Sr., who demands that everything from his family (his long-suffering wife and 4 sons) should be just so. The more he rails against his staff, his cook, his wife, his horse, salesmen, holidays, his children and the inability of the world to live up to his impossible standards, the more comical and lovable he becomes to his own family who love him despite it all.
