Summary: Not as funny as I expected
Comment: I was told that the play "The Royal Family" would be hilariously funny. I must say, it seemed somehow outdated and the jokes were not funny at all. I do not understand Tony's character. The character development is poor, except for the authors' development of Fanny Cavendish. Don't bother reading through this waste of words!

Summary: Poor Editing and Proofreading Mars Text
Comment: As a great fan of George S. Kaufman (especially of his works co-written with Moss Hart), I was very much looking forward to reacquainting myself with his earlier comedies co-written with Edna Ferber. Unfortunately, this book has to be the most poorly proofread and mis-edited mass market text I've ever seen. My guess is that the text was scanned in using OCR software. A tremendous number of words make no sense in their context or are not even real words at all. Frequently, words will have capital letters, symbols, or numbers randomly inserted into the middle of them. Punctuation is erratic, with numerous periods in the midst of words or within sentences. The result is that the text is a chore to read, and the typesetting almost ruins these otherwise interesting plays. My advice is that, if you have access to the three plays in another volume, read them there; you'll enjoy the experience more. This is really an amateurish product that does disservice to the creativity of two fine pros.

Summary: Wonderful collection
Comment: I am a fan of both authors, Edna Ferber and George S. Kaufman. They wrote beautiful plays together that are particularly charming! Royal Family is a great play that I am currently in as the character Gwen so I have explored the show quite well. I highly recommend this collection of plays to anyone who enjoys humor and drama! Thanks for reading :)
