The Odd Couple (female version)

by Neil Simon
directed by Mair Graham

The Odd Couple (female version)

Neil Simon wrote this female version of his 1960s hit in response to a demand from American actresses who wanted to perform the play.  Oscar and Felix become Olive and Florence! The play remains just as funny and poignant - in some ways more so.   It is still full of Neil Simon's trademark edgy one-liners which are a joy to play.  Set in 1980s New York, it involves many of the fads and fashions of a quarter of a century ago (which some of us remember all too well!).

Saturday 15th to Saturday 22nd May 2010
Performances at 7.45pm, except Sunday 16th May which is at 4.00pm

There is also a matinee at 3.00pm on Saturday 22nd May. No performance Wednesday 19th May.
