A review by sparklereads
Act One by Woody Allen, Moss Hart

4.0

Wow....oh wow. My heart is so full after having completed this "Mossy" journey. I shamefully knew nothing of Moss Hart before my dad gifted this to me last Christmas, and I am very grateful to him for opening my eyes to an incredible go-getter. Moss Hart was in a word, sublime. He never gave up - not his craft, nor his devotion to his family with whom he had a very strained relationship from the very beginning, and not just due to the fact that they were poor, but because he had developed a stronger relationship with his aunt and grandfather, who both passed away before they knew just how successful a playwright he would become. Moss Hart's relationship with George Kaufman, which occasionally left me questioning whether Moss had had a romantic attachment to the playwright, was incredible to read, especially given how Moss was able to slowly chip away at Kaufman's withholding exterior, to a softy..well, not quite, but close to one. Brb gonna cry now...
