Overview

Expanded by the author from his earlier vaudeville sketch Poor Aubrey, The Show Off of the title is Aubrey Piper an egotistical braggart and his farcical attempts to retain some diginity amidst the barrage of his own self-aggrandizing hyperbole. A richly comic portrait of a common fraility in the American character, this long-running success is from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Craig's Wife and The Torch Bearers.
