With music and wit to match the infectious energy and sophistication of the real-life luminaries it is based on, The Talk of the Town is about the ballyhooed brilliance of the fabled Algonquin Roundtable. Dorothy Parker, Robert Benchley, Alexander Woollcott, George Kaufman, Marc Connelly, Edna Ferber, and Robert Sherwood are the great literary players gathered in the Rose Room of the Algonquin hotel, sharing in clever banter and reflecting on the lives behind their brilliant famous personas.
