A beloved old comedy populated by a wonderful array of American eccentrics.  Sheridan Whiteside, gadabout critic, radio raconteur and egomaniac, has slipped on the ice after a post-lecture visit to the home of a prominent family in a small Ohio town.  Marooned for weeks, he is the kind of guest who is so infuriating that you might consider burning down your house to get rid of him.  Holding the family hostage to his preposterous whims, Whiteside imports a collection of flamboyant friends, runs up astronomical phone bills and flings some of the funniest barbs ever flung on-stage.
