      Remembering Mr. Maugham is an intimate glimpse into the life of W. Somerset Maugham—one of the most brilliant, prolific, and secretive writers of the 20th century. This graceful two-character, one-act play adapted by Garson Kanin from his memoir is a treasure trove of private conversations, amusing anecdotes, and candid recollections of his beloved friend and confidant. Through decades of friendship, Kanin and Maugham poignantly reminisce about life, art, and the unconquerable human spirit.

      You think you heard the Hollywood story? The gossip, the scandals, the dreams and the deals, the shoestring beginnings and the crazy golden days? Forget it. You heard nothing. Unless you heard it from Farber. B.J. Farber was there with them all - from the start with Edison right up to today. He saw it. He lived it. he made a lot of it happen. Wait 'til you hear.

      "The author has cleverly inserted nonfictitious charactors such as Spencer Tracy, Ethel Barrymore, Katharine Hepburn and others, into this work of fiction"
