Critic's Choice and Other Comedies

Ira Levin, bestselling author of Rosemary's Baby and Deathtrap, brings us a trio of domestic comedies. This collected edition includes an introduction by Nicholas Levin.

Inspired by an anecdotal challenge in a book by noted theater critic Walter Kerr, Ira Levin wove a comic tale of a drama critic faced with the moral quandary of honestly reviewing his spouse's sub-par stage play. Does he review the play as he would any other and risk his marriage, or back out and compromise his professional principles?

A Broadway hit that starred Henry Fonda and Mildred Natwick--and later adapted into a film with Bob Hope and Lucille Ball--Critic's Choice is a highly entertaining and witty comedy with razor-sharp dialog, highly individual characters, and a timeless theme--the sometimes-impossible conflict between a person's public and private lives.
