Invaluable Contributor: Anne Kaufman
Over lunch at New York City's Algonquin Hotel - the home of the legendary Roundtable - while seated in front of a painting of George S. Kaufman and his literary friends, Ms. Kaufman gave us her blessing and agreed to let us produce her father's play.
We continue to hold the rights to the show and are grateful to have had the wonderful experience of a delightful and rich relationship with the witty and stylish Anne Kaufman, who was an international theatrical treasure.
