S. N. Behrman, in full Samuel Nathaniel Behrman, was an American short-story writer and playwright who studied drama at Harvard. Behrman wrote more than two dozen comedies during his 40-year career, and nearly every one of them was a hit. He also wrote many short stories, two biographies, and a number of screenplays. His work is closely associated with the Theatre Guild. Behrman was best known for popular Broadway plays that commented on contemporary moral issues. His first play, *The Second Man* (1927), was an immediate success, and Behrman followed it with a string of successes. Behrman wrote about the wealthy, intellectual sector of society, endowing his characters with eloquence and intelligence. He is distinguished among popular playwrights for introducing volatile and complicated issues into his plays and for refusing to create shallow characters.
