Dinner at Eight

About the show

Dinner at Eight is a 1932 American play by George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferber. The plot deals with the Jordan family, who are planning a society dinner, and what they, as well as various friends and acquaintances—all of whom have their own problems and ambitions—do as they prepare for the event. The film adaptation Dinner at Eight followed, and Mentone Productions released a spoof, Supper at Six. Several revivals, a made-for-TV movie, and an opera followed.
