Brighton Beach Memoirs
by Neil Simon
from Plume
Full cast recording of a theatrical play read by Max Casella, Valerie Harper, Jonathan Silverman, and Joyce Van Patten. In Neil Simon s darkly funny memoir of his family in 1930 s Brooklyn, fourteen year-old Eugene is preoccupied by his passion for the Yankees and his lust for his beautiful cousin, Nora. Eugene s comic growing pains contrast with the darker issues troubling his family: poverty, illness and the growing Nazi threat to relatives in Europe. Simon creates a Brooklyn universe full of memorable characters, humor and truth. A BBC coproduction.

The Odd Couple (Female Version)
by Neil Simon
from Samuel French Ltd
It's Slob versus Neatnik as poker buddies Felix and Oscar suddenly find themselves bachelors again and innocently decide to share an apartment.
Barefoot in the Park
Set in 1964, Barefoot in the Park follows the lives of newlyweds Paul and Connie Bratter as they adjust to married life in a tiny Greenwich Village apartment. Paul is a lawyer who’s wound up a little too tight, while Connie is a free spirit bubbling over with romantic notions. In typical Simon style, all manner of comic chaos ensues as the Bratters’ marriage begins to collapse under the pressure of a five-flight walk-up, a skylight that leaks snow, an eccentric neighbor who must climb through their apartment to get to his, and Connie’s misguided attempt to marry off her mother. Acclaimed playwright, Neil Simon, is a Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning author. “Neil Simon’s comedy Barefoot in the Park is 30-something now, but its newlywed protagonists, the Bratters, remain forever young.” — The Dallas Morning News
