DIARY OF EVENTS
February 23rd to 25th 2012
The Odd Couple
A comedy in three acts by Neil Simon
Divorced from his wife, Oscar lives in the cheerful chaos his carefree nature thrives on. Into the midst of his smoke-laden, beer-sodden weekly poker session, comes Felix, newly separated from his wife and, so he says, suicidal. At Oscar's invitation Felix moves in, and is soon finding comfort in performing, with the same thoroughness which lost him his wife, the cooking, cleaning, polishing and laundry until Oscar is almost reduced, by continuous nagging, to a nervous wreck.
The conflicting personalities of Oscar and Felix, together with the latter’s initially desperate state of mind give rise to some hilarious situations peppered with Simon’s usual witty dialogue.
The play opened on Broadway in 1965 and was later made into a film starring Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon.
