The Man Who Came to Dinner presented by Saint Sebastian Players at St. Bonaventure Church

Around The Town Chicago - Recommended

"...Bill Chamberlain is brilliant as Sheridan Whiteside in the Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman screwball comedy/farce "The Man Who Came to Dinner." With his booming and resonant voice and haughty manner, Chamberlain fills the room with bluster, arrogance, and a sense of self-superiority that cannot be beat! Whiteside is such a complex character, and it is his performance that makes the entire show worth the cost of admission. Yet the script, dating back to the late 1930s, is perhaps more of a historical piece than anything else."

"...This production of The Man Who Came To Dinner has all the makings of those quintessential farce comedies of the early 20th century with multiple storylines, sarcastic humor and wordplay, and lots of mishaps because of the wrong advice. It is definitely dated, leaning into old references, stereotypes, and tropes that could be taken as campy if you look at it through a modern perspective perhaps. So for those that love these old comedies, want a show with a good chuckle or two, and don't mind the almost three hour runtime, The Man Who Came to Dinner would be a good fit for you."
