ABOUT THE PLAY
Neil Simon’s Tony Award-winning play about friendship, divorce and misunderstandings has been recreated several times since it premiered on Broadway in 1965, including the 1968 film with Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, and the 1970 TV remake with Tony Randall and Jack Klugman.
Two suddenly single pals – a sloppy sportswriter and a fastidious news writer – strain their friendship by becoming roommates, unconsciously repeating the same mistakes they made in the marriages they just left.
THE PERFORMERS
A co-production by Spectrum Theatre Group Inc and Theatre Onset Inc.
