Biography
George S. Kaufman (1889-1961) brought satirical, hilarious dialogue to his collaborations and his own plays, including Strike Up the Band, and screenplays (Animal Crackers, A Night at the Opera). Kaufman, who often collaborated with such noted American writers as Moss Hart and Edna Ferber, wrote Silk Stockings with Abe Burrows in 1955. His other New York shows include I'd Rather Be Right (11/37-7/38) and Of Mice & Men (opened in 1937).
