Lost in Yonkers
Written by Neil Simon
Directed by Chantale Plante & Produced by Eleanore Tapscott
This funny and heartwarming play is by one of America’s most acclaimed and beloved playwrights. Neil Simon’s Tony award winner and Pulitzer prize-winning play tells the moving drama about the cruelties and painful memories that scar a family. It is Yonkers, New York, 1942. After the death of their mother, two young brothers are sent to stay with their formidable grandmother for the longest ten months of their lives. Grandmother Kurnitz is a one-woman German front—a refugee and a widow who has steeled her heart against the world. Her coldness and intolerance have crippled her own children: the boys’ father has no self-esteem . . . their Aunt Gert has an embarrassing speech impediment . . . their Uncle Louie is a small-time gangster . . . and their Aunt Bella has the mentality of a child. Filled with laughter, tears, and insight, Lost in Yonkers is yet another testament to Neil Simon’s talent. (Estimated) 2 hours with intermission.
