An American Millionaire

$13

Murray Schisgal

Published by Dramatists Play Service

2 Male 2 Female

The hero is the millionaire co-owner of a textile plant who seems to have all that one could wish for - but who finds himself thoroughly miserable

As things have gone from bad to worse his wife has left him; he is overweight but can't stop eating; his partner has just about given up on him; and, to cap it all, someone is apparently trying to kill him

In an attempt to set matters straight his brilliant law student daughter enlists the aid of her professor who has been her lover of five years

Whereupon the action becomes even more pell-mell, and even funnier;leading on to a quite unexpected resolution

A madcap, hilarious comedy, produced by New York's renowned Circle in the Square company, which offers a wildly farcical view of contemporary society and its mores
