George Furth Facts
In the early 1970s, plans to film his hit 1971 Broadway play 'Twigs' with Elizabeth Taylor playing four roles never materialized.

In the late 60s he began jotting down ideas for a series of one-act plays, with the idea of getting actress Kim Stanley to play the lead in each playlet. When no producer would bite, he turned to Stephen Sondheim, who, in turn, showed the work to director Harold Prince. The result was 1970's landmark Broadway musical "Company". George later used some of the one-acts not used in "Company" to form "Twigs," a 1971 quartet of interconnected plays about four women, all from the same family.

Won Broadway's 1971 Tony Award as Best Book (Musical) for "Company."
