Margin For Error is a satirical melodrama written by Clare Boothe. The story follows the character of Herr Fahrenkopf, a Nazi officer who is sent to America to act as a spy during World War II. Fahrenkopf is given the task of investigating a wealthy Jewish family living in New York City, but his plans are complicated when he falls in love with the family's daughter. The play is a biting satire that skewers the Nazi regime and the American society of the time. It explores themes of love, loyalty, and the nature of evil. The characters are sharply drawn and the dialogue is witty and incisive. First performed in 1939, Margin For Error was a critical and commercial success. It was adapted into a film in 1943, starring Joan Bennett and Milton Berle. Today, the play is still considered a classic of American theater and a powerful critique of fascism and bigotry.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
