This Is An Entertainment is a play by Tennessee Williams . Similar in plot to that of Idiot s Delight play Idiot s Delight by Robert E. Sherwood , it focuses on a hedonism hedonistic count ess, the wife of a wealthy manufacturer of ammunition , who arrives at an elegant resort hotel in the midst of a war torn Central Europe an country in search of sexual misadventures. She achieves her goal with the help of a handsome blond chauffeur and his look alike, a leader of the revolution. Williams described the play as a first draft in need of polishing when the American Conservatory Theater staged it at the Geary Theater in San Francisco in 1976. The cast included Elizabeth Huddle as the countess, Nicholas Cortland in the dual roles of the chauffer and revolutionary, and Ray Reinhardt as the count. Stanley Eichelbaum of the San Francisco Examiner called it a boisterous vaudeville like farce done in the free wheeling style of the playwright s earlier Camino Real play Camino Real . Though it is shot through with crude and raunchy humor, it evokes an old world decadence, like the comic fantasies of Jean Anouilh . He added, This Is is anything but a subtle play. Williams has subverted his lyrical gift with cheap and dreary vulgar humor, with painfully witless jokes . . . More surprising, perhaps, is the one dimensional flatness of the characters. ref http www.nytimes.com books 00 12 31 specials williams entertainment.html San Francisco Examiner review ref References reflist Tennessee Williams Category 1976 plays Category Plays by Tennessee Williams play stub ... more details
