Kingsley, Sidney (1906–95), American dramatist, whose first play
Men in White (1933; London, 1934), set in a hospital, was awarded a
Pulitzer Prize. The economic depression of the 1930s moved him to write
Dead End (1935), a bleak but provocative study of crime-breeding slum conditions, while his
Ten Million Ghosts (1936) excoriated the international munitions cartels that had profited from the First World War.
The World We Make (1939), based on a novel, gave a moving account of a neurotic rich girl's discovery of comradeship and hope among the poor.
The Patriots (1943) was a chronicle of the formative years of American democracy, and
Detective Story (1949) a powerful indictment of excessive righteousness covering one day in a New York police station. In 1951 Kingsley dramatized Arthur Koestler's anti-Communist novel
Darkness at Noon, and in 1954 he broke new ground with a farce,
Lunatics and Lovers, set in a hotel suite. His last play was
Night Life (1962). He directed
Dead End and all his own later plays.
