Young Theatre
At the large, tastefully appointed Sneden’s Landing townhouse, the Deputy Mayor of New York has just shot himself. Though only a flesh wound, four couples are about to experience a severe attack of farce. Gathering for their tenth wedding anniversary, the host lies bleeding in the other room and his wife is nowhere in sight. His lawyer, Ken and wife Chris must get “the story” straight before the other guests arrive. As the confusions and miscommunications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity. “Neil Simon makes people laugh a lot!”- USA Today. “Not only side splitting, but front and back splitting.”- NBC TV.
By Neil Simon • Directed by Kevin Slay
Tickets: $10 ($9 with advance Titan discount)
