• George Kelly

Written by George Kelly, whose play, "Craig's Wife," won a 1925 Pulitzer Prize, set in 1920s Philadelphia, the title character in "The Show-Off" is Aubrey Piper, a blowhard, a first-rate annoyance, and a shameless liar---a show-off of the worst kind. He also happens to be marrying into the Fisher family, forcing the Fishers to learn to cope with this human oddity who has blustered his way into their lives.
