Lost in Yonkers

A poignant memory play by Neil Simon, America’s most popular playwright. It’s 1942 when ne’er-do-well Eddie deposits his two young sons on his mother’s doorstep and takes off — leaving the boys to contend with the stern Grandma Kurnitz, the childlike aunt Bella and her brother Louie, a small-time hood — all in this strange new world called Yonkers. Simon’s coming-of-age tale won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and both the Tony and Drama Desk Awards for Best New Play.
