From the Inside Flap

Comedy and pathos mingle brilliantly in Neil Simon's portrait of a widowed New York novelist who fears he'll never love again and has no interest in dating. Neither does smart, attractive Jennie Malone, who has just returned from getting a Mexican divorce. A grudging five-minute meeting between them blossoms into a passionate, witty romance until they decide to marry. A BBC co-production.

An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring David Dukes, Sharon Gless, Gates McFadden and Grant Shaud.

Review

Here [is a] superbly cast Neil Simon production that offers the listener a true "theatre of the mind" experience what is as memorable as they are entertaining. -- Reviewer's Bookwatch, December 2000

The combination of Simon's writing, House's direction and Gless' acting was so witty, intelligent and convincing that it makes for compelling listening. -- The London Independent, February 1, 1998
