by Neil Simon
In one of the best plays from the award-winning American playwright, Jake, a 50-something writer, is trying to come to grips with his current marriage which seems to be falling apart. While the many women in his life float in and out of the play either as real beings or as fi gments of his imagination, he has to examine his relationship with his deceased first wife, his daughter at both age 12 and 21, his current wife, his psychologist, his sister, and his current girl-friend. It’s all quite funny but at the same time emotional and touching.
