Synopsis:
You Can’t Take it With You recounts a brief period in the lives of the Sycamore family as they cope with, and rise above, the struggles of the Great Depression. The Sycamores (and all their extended family) have determined that life is for living, and each of them pursues his or her own dreams and passions in the warm, secure setting of Grandpa Vanderhof’s home in New York City. In Grandpa’s house, financial and social success have given way to playwriting, ballet dancing, printing, firework making, dart playing, and a host of other diversions—all in the pursuit of individual and collective happiness. After all, “You can’t take it with you.” This quirky and loveable family, along with those who have moved in with them or become household regulars, live in sharp contrast to the rest of the world. Of course, there would be no story without conflict, and that conflict is introduced by the youngest Sycamore, Alice, who is the only family member engaged in the “real” world. It is Alice’s romance with her boss’s son, Tony, and the difficulties the relationship poses with Tony’s upright (and uptight) parents, that creates the drama in one of the most beloved comedies in American theater history.
