Neil Simon plays
Just finished listening to some classical Neil Simon plays. I don’t like the Suites very much, though they have their moments. Simon is best at his craft when he writes personal comedies.
My favorite plays are:
Brighton Beach Memoirs
Biloxi Blues
Barefoot in the Park
Broadway Bound
Some other good but less believable ones:
Chapter Two
Lost in Yonkers
The Odd Couple
Prisoner of Second Avenue
The balance are more slapstick and aren’t so good:
Plaza Suite
California Suite
