BRIGHTON BEACH MEMOIRS

By Neil Simon

 

Performances run

January 20 – February 6, 2011

 

The Show: The first play in Neil Simon's autobiographical trilogy is still his best, filled with riotous humor, sweet memories and deep compassion for the times and family who have gone before him. It’s a portrait of the playwright as a teen in 1937, living with his family in a lower middle-class Brooklyn walk-up. Eugene Jerome, standing in for the author, is the central character. Dreaming of baseball and girls, Eugene must cope with his mundane family life in Brooklyn - his formidable mother, his overworked father, and his worldly older brother Stanley. Throw into the mix his widowed Aunt Blanche, her two young (but rapidly aging) daughters and you have a recipe for hilarity, served up Simon-style. This bittersweet memoir evocatively captures the life of a struggling household where, as his father states "if you didn't have a problem, you wouldn't be living here." Simon’s finest play.
