      Remembering Mr. Maugham is an intimate glimpse into the life of W. Somerset Maugham—one of the most brilliant, prolific, and secretive writers of the 20th century. This graceful two-character, one-act play adapted by Garson Kanin from his memoir is a treasure trove of private conversations, amusing anecdotes, and candid recollections of his beloved friend and confidant. Through decades of friendship, Kanin and Maugham poignantly reminisce about life, art, and the unconquerable human spirit.
