First of all, does anyone out there "of a certain age" remember Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy appearing on a PBS special in the late '70's or early '80's in which they performed a comedy routine wherein the wife took the words to "Tea for Two" to heart and woke her husband up at dawn, etc.?
Secondly, would anyone know who wrote that piece? I thought it was James Thurber, but I haven't been able to find it in any of his collections.
My theater group is doing a revue for Valentine's Day and I thought that would be a terrific piece to include.
Any help finding it would be greatly appreciated.
Don't recall this particular scene, but could it have been either "Gin Game" or "Fox fire"? Those are the only two Broadway plays that I can recall these two marvelous actors doing at around that time.
It wasn't a scene from either play. Or any play that I know of. It was a, for lack of a better word, dramitization of a humor piece. He was the narrator/husband and she was the wife's lines.
Nope. It wasn't used in Foxfire.
Could it have been a scene from, THE FOURPOSTER? A play they originated, and which the musical I DO, I DO is adapted from.
