The Desk Set
by William Marchant
Synopsis
Shirley Booth opened to rave notices playing a woman with encyclopedic knowledge of facts and figures who works in a television network reference department.
Electronic brains are installed to do the work of people, soon replacing whole departments, but Emmaracs can not best Bunny in a game of wits she causes them to blow fuses.
Here is a telling comedy rich in hilarity for anyone who has ever worked in an office.
