BORN YESTERDAY Comes to the San Francisco Playhouse
By: A.A. Cristi
Garson Kanin's delightful and dangerous comedy Born Yesterday is a timely exploration of politics, profiteering, and the power of persuasion. Harry, a ruthless, thuggish millionaire-with his showgirl fiancée, Billie, in tow-comes to Washington to bribe a senator and enrich his business interests.
He soon hires a reporter to clean up Billie's image; but as she awakens to a world full of possibilities, she starts to question corruption's stranglehold over the disadvantaged.
