Neil Simon’s Coming-of-Age Comedy: Brighton Beach Memoirs
Westchester Playhouse (Los Angeles, CA)
Neil Simon sealed his place in American culture when he created Oscar and Felix, the two characters in his wildly popular play The Odd Couple. Known for writing zingers, rapid-fire jokes and believable characters, Simon is one of the most beloved and most produced playwrights in the country. The semi-autobiographical Brighton Beach Memoirs follows the witty, sex- and baseball-obsessed 15-year-old Eugene living through the Great Depression. Thanks to Simon’s comedic touch, this coming-of-age story at the Westchester Playhouse resonates no matter in what era you grew up.
