The Man in the Dog Suit

Oliver is being groomed by his in-laws for a position in the family business: banking

Shy and ineffectual under ordinary circumstances, Oliver discovers that he can be bold and independent when wearing the dog costume he had acquired for a masquerade ball

Donning it on the proper occasions, he can even outface his in-laws. They, in turn, are appalled at the thought of Oliver's wearing the dog suit in public

When he wears it to work at the bank he's told he must choose between the dog suit and his job. To his delight, he discovers that his wife is as bored with their stuffy life as he is

They suddenly decide to head for the great woods of Oregon, where Oliver can pursue his dream of being a tree surgeon. The in-laws are shocked, except for one

As Oliver leaves, his brother-in-law takes over the dog suit, and another hilarious rebellion is apparently on its way

This gently hilarious comedy has found great favor among non-professional groups, even as it was produced on Broadway. " charming a happy vehicle for the Cronyns" - NY Journal-American
