Interview with Moss Hart's son, Chris Hart
Ted Sod, Roundabout's Education Dramaturg, sat down with Chris Hart, the son of Moss Hart, the Pulitzer Prize winner and co-playwright of You Can't Take It With You.
Ted Sod: Your father, Moss Hart, was a distinguished playwright/screenwriter/director/producer who died when you were 12. You are a director and a producer as well. What have you learned about working in the theatre from him or his legacy?

Like Father, Like Son? Sort Of
Christopher Hart has dropped a bombshell.
As often happens, Moss Hart’s son--who has directed several of his father’s plays--has been asked about his dad’s collaboration with George S. Kaufman. What, exactly, did each man contribute to such comedies as “Once in a Lifetime,” “You Can’t Take It With You” and “The Man Who Came to Dinner”?
“I have a list at home of every word from every play, and who wrote what,” he says.
Wow! Once this gets out, theater historians from everywhere will be camped on his doorstep. . . .
Hey, wait a minute. He said that much too calmly.
Rats. He’s just kidding.
Truth is, Hart goes on to explain: “They never discussed it; it was never something that they wanted to be pinned down about.”
The 51-year-old Hart--whose mother is actress, television personality and arts advocate Kitty Carlisle Hart--was just 13 when his father died at 57 in 1961, so much of what he knows comes from his father’s 1959 autobiography, “Act One.”
