A woman likes a man who does something. All the male animals fight for the female,from the land crab to the bird of paradise.They don't just sit and talk.They Act!
Professor Tommy Turner would have much preferred to sit and talk.But a brisk engagement in the War Between Men and Women broke out in his own home and his efforts to prove himself the 100 per cent Male Animal result in the hilarious comedy which,in James Thurber's first play - wrtiien in collaboration with Elliott Nugent - has proved brilliantly successful on both sides of the Atlantic.
