The Odd Couple

The Minstrel Players presents Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple. Tara Lawrence directs.

The classic Neil Simon play proves once and for all “a place for everything and everything in its place?” ….just not in my place! The gruff and sloppy Oscar Madison and the sophisticated and tidy Felix Unger go head-to-head when Felix’s wife after years of marriage finally kicks him out for his obsessive compulsive and overbearingly annoying behavior. As his friend, the recently divorced Oscar insists that the forsaken Felix move in with him, but soon realizes why Felix’s wife had kicked him out to begin with! The two divorced men become the most unlikely (and oddest) couple, hysterically acting like an old bickering married couple. Eventually, there is spaghetti (or is that linguini?) splattered on the wall and it looks like the two divorced men are about to break it off with each other. But with the help of their poker buddies and two attractive neighbors, the Pigeon sisters, Felix and Oscar work it out and get on with life, so that they all can get on with the poker game.
