About the Show:

Play Location: Compound of the 407^th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, Korea.

Time of action: Many months during the Korean Conflict. 

This is a wild, free-flowing comedy. M*A*S*H stands for Mobile Army Surgical Hospital, and joining it are two unpredictable mad caps, Hawkeye and Duke. They can't be dealt with casually, however, because they are also two of the best chest surgeons in South Korea. They decide to wage a campaign to get a young Korean to the United States and entered in a good school. The thread of this effort helps tie together the pileup of comic adventures right before the eyes of our astonished and hysterical audience! Hawkeye has a scene with a woman psychiatrist who believes he's been trying to lobster-trap mermaids in a rice paddy! There's a jolly encounter with the baby-talking Bonwit Sisters, the worst tap-dancing act the U.S.O. ever sent overseas. A sergeant is selling dumb GIs fishing rights in the Bay of Phum. Radar O'Reilly, a soldier with incredible hearing, anticipates things before they happen. The proprietor of a painless dental clinic is cured of dark moods by the recreation of an old monster movie and a monster! It's all here, including a little romance mixed in with dramatic moments and a genuine love of life. Oh, yes the Korean boy does get his education in the United States!

This comedy was written by Tim Kelly.  Both the play and the TV series were based on the book by Richard Hooker.
