• Used Book in Good Condition

Comedy / Casting: 2m, 3f / Scenery: Var. settings <p> This Broadway hit is a composite of Neil Simon and Anton Chekhov. In one sketch a harridan storms a bank and upbraids the manager for his gout and lack of money. In another, a father takes his son to a house where he will be initiated into the mysteries of sex, only to relent at the last moment and leave the boy more perplexed than ever. In another sketch, a crafty seducer goes to work on a wedded woman, only to realize that the woman has been in command from the first overture. Let us not forget the classic tale of a man who offers to drown himself for three rubles. The stories are droll, the portraits affectionate, the humor infectious and the fun unending. <p> "A great deal of warmth and humor in his retelling of these Chekhovian tales."-Newhouse Newspapers <p>"There is much fun here. Mr. Simon's comic fancy is admirable."-The New York Times
