Aug 29—Sep 1, 2025
Directed by Leo McCarey (1933)
With
Groucho Marx, Harpo Marx, Chico Marx, Zeppo Marx, Margaret Dumont, Louis Calhern, Edgar Kennedy, Raquel Torres, Edmund Breese
After being appointed dictator of Freedonia, Rufus T. Firefly (Groucho Marx) proceeds to bring the nation to a halt by showing up late and insulting everyone at his inauguration. Hoping to oust the unfit new leader, two spies are sent from the neighboring Sylvania. Soon enough, war is declared between the two nations—with outrageous results. Duck Soup presents the Marx Brothers at their most anarchical, with supreme silliness ruling above all.
