Idiots Delight

By Robert Sherwood Directed by Scott Alan Evans INTERNATIONAL POLITICS January 28-31, 2000 The New-York Historical Society
SYNOPSIS
Set in a second-rate resort hotel in the Italian Alps on the eve of WWII, this 1936 tragicomedy is a prophetic commentary on the mad game of war. Sherwood, the author of "Abe Lincoln in Illinois" and "The Petrified Forest," noted that, as with much of his writing, he "starts off with a big message and ends with nothing but good entertainment."
