A satirical comedy about a small, idealistic individual shareholder who takes on the entrenched, self-dealing board of directors at a major corporation after being appointed to the board herself. As she uncovers layers of corporate mismanagement, excessive executive perks, and boardroom doublespeak, her outsider's common sense and persistence begin to threaten the cozy arrangements the executives have built for themselves. The play skewers mid-century corporate culture and the gap between shareholders' interests and executive self-enrichment with brisk, satirical wit. It was a hit comedy of its era and was later adapted into a popular film starring Judy Holliday.
