The Odd Couple read at Little Theatre
The Neil Simon play, The Odd Couple, will be the subject of Woy Woy Little Theatre's April play reading.
The reading will be held from 7:30pm on Monday, April 29, at the Peninsula Theatre.
"This classic comedy opens as a group of six men assemble for cards in the apartment of divorced Oscar Madison," said marketing manager Mr David Wicks.
"And, if the mess is any indication, it is no wonder that his wife left him.
"Late to arrive is Felix Ungar who has just separated from his wife.
"Fastidious, depressed and none too tense, Felix seems suicidal, but as the action unfolds Oscar becomes the one with murder on his mind when the clean-freak and the slob ultimately decide to room together with hilarious results.
"The Odd Couple is the play that catapulted Neil Simon to artistic fame as a writer in the mid-1960s," said Mr Wicks.
Woy Woy Little Theatre presents monthly play readings as a barometer to see if the subject matter should be considered for future staging by the group.
