One Touch of Venus S. J. Perelman 1944 Little Brown and Co Musical Comedy Play This wartime-era musical comedy play drops the classical goddess Venus into modern American city life after a barber becomes enchanted by her statue and accidentally sets the story’s romantic chaos in motion. What follows is a witty, fanciful collision between myth, everyday desire, and mid-century manners, with the premise playing as both farce and fairy tale. The book reads as a satirical stage text shaped by Perelman and Nash’s comic sensibilities, poking at artistic fashion, suburban respectability, and the rules people impose on love and behavior. Because this edition also preserves lyric material and the play text itself, it works both as a collectible theater volume and as a readable artifact of a 1940s Broadway hit.
