The Philadelphia Story
Black Box Theater
Written by Philip Barry
The Philadelphia Story is Philip Barry’s classic romantic comedy that became famous when it was turned into a film starring Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant, and Jimmy Stewart in 1940. It is the story of a recently divorced woman who has always been put on a pedestal and worshiped from afar. She has never let her foot slip and expects everyone to share her high standards. While being pursued by her fiancé, a reporter, and her ex-husband, she discovers what it means to be a human who can give love to others and accept it in return.
