TheatreWorks presents the Tony nominated comedy hit Twentieth Century. Adapted by celebrated farceur Ken Ludwig, this classic screwball comedy, based on the 1930's play by Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur, tells the tale of a Broadway impresario on the decline,who, desperately seeking to revive his sagging career, used mistaken identity, chicanery, and catastrophe to coax his unforgiving former flame and mercurial silver screen starlet into starring in his next production.

Robert Kelley will helm this madcap battle of the sexes, called "a thrilling fun-house ride" by The New Yorker.
