The Man Who Came to Dinner is a comedy play by George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart. It debuted on October 16, 1939, at the Music Box Theater in New York City, where it ran until 1941. It then enjoyed a number of New York and London revivals. The play is set in the small town of Mesalia, Ohio, in the weeks before Christmas in the late 1930s. The famously outlandish New York City radio wit Sheridan Whiteside is invited to dine at the house of the well to do factory owner Ernest W. Stanley and his family. But before Whiteside can enter the house, he slips on a patch of ice outside Stanley's front door and injures his hip. Confined to the Stanleys' home, Whiteside is looked after by several professionals: Dr. Bradley, the absent minded physician, Miss Preen, his frantic nurse, and Maggie Cutler, his faithful secretary.
