Hampton Roads Premiere - Our preseason offering is written by one of America's funniest and most prolific playwrights - Neil Simon. It was in the 1950's that Sid Caesar's Your Show of Shows brought together the greatest collection of comedy writers to assemble in one room. These comic giants included Mel Brooks, Carl Reiner, Larry Gelbart, and a young Neil Simon. Now, some forty years later, Neil Simon recreates the mayhem, neuroses, nonstop gags, and constant one-upmanship of this brilliant team of comic writers. Neil Simon's newest comedy is a funny bone, laugh-a-second tribute to these comic geniuses.
