| It was one of the first plays that I had ever seen and loved it. I always wonder would I like it now as much. Since it is rarely produced, I assume it just isnt as good as I remembered. I would like to see a good revival even at local Bay Area theater like act or Berkeley rep. | |

| Berkeley Rep did in fact do The Show-Off back in about 1983--I remember because I reviewed it for the old Berkeley Gazette at the time. I remember enjoying it a lot and writing a strongly positive review, though I don't recall now who was in it. I looked it up at the Berkeley Rep website and their "past productions" section lists it, but doesn't give the cast. After all these years, it might very well be time for them to do it again. | |

| Or maybe it was that good, but a little dated. I see it played in 2017 at the Peccadillo Theater Company at Theatre at St. Clement's - I kind of recall hearing about that now. That may have been their most recent production - maybe they're no longer producing. They did one of my top ten favorite (maybe top five) New York productions - Elmer Rice's "Counsellor At Law," with John Rubinstein in 2005. |

| I really like "Craig's Wife" which has an especially fine role for the leading woman. It was filmed twice, the second time with its plot somewhat altered as "Harriet Craig" with Joan Crawford, and the first time with the original title and more faithful to the play starring Rosalind Russell. This really enhanced her career, and until her fabulous comedy turn in "The Women", established her as a dramatic star for her rendering of the rather unsympathetic, but never boring, character. | |
