By Neil Simon
Directed by John Shepherd
Monday July 3rd – Saturday July 8th 2023
This affectionate, semi-autobiographical play is about Simon’s early years in Brighton Beach, a poor, mainly Jewish-American neighbourhood in Brooklyn. The “not quite 15” Eugene introduces us to his family household – mother, father, elder brother, aunt and her two teenage daughters – and shares his teenage angst.
Filled with Simon’s customary wit and well-drawn characters, the play will leave you with a smile on your face and a warm glow inside.
