Me and Molly is a three-act play with eight scenes by Gertrude Berg, based on Berg's long-running radio drama The Goldbergs. It has a large cast, one setting, and moderate pacing. It is a domestic situation comedy, bordering on soap opera, as Jake Goldberg tries to start his own business while his family adjusts to life in a new apartment. It was originally produced by Herbert Kenwith at the Belasco Theatre during February 1948, with staging by Ezra Stone and starring Berg and Philip Loeb. After its run completed, the play was followed by a television series (1949) and a film (1950) that used some of the same characters and performers, but followed different storylines. The drama critic of New York Daily News had selected the season's ten best plays every year since 1920. For the 1947–1948 season, John Chapman chose Me and Molly for the tenth spot, an unexpected honor for neophyte playwright Gertrude Berg. Source: Wikipedia (en)
